Binnington earned his 152nd victory in his 298th NHL game, passing Mike Liut, who had 151 wins in 347 games.

The shutout was Binnington’s first of the season and 16th in the NHL.

Dylan Holloway scored twice in the first period and Robert Thomas scored for the Blues (11-12-1), who have won two straight since Jim Montgomery took over on Sunday. They defeated the New York Rangers 5-2 on Monday in Montgomery’s debut.

Jacob Markstrom made 16 saves for the Devils (15-8-2), who had won three straight and eight of 10. New Jersey played without forward Timo Meier, who was suspended one game for checking Nashville Predators forward Zachary L. ‘Heureux in Monday’s 5-2 win.

Thomas scored after nine seconds to give the Blues a 1-0 lead with a one-timer from the left circle off a pass from Pavel Buchnevich. He tied the St. Louis record for the second-fastest goal scored at the start of a game.

Holloway made it 2-0 at 6:23, three seconds into a Blues power play, with a wrist shot from the right circle.

Holloway extended the game to 3-0 from the slot at 16:05 by chipping in a loose puck from Colton Parayko’s one-timer from the left point. It was the first time this season that St. Louis scored three goals in the first period.

Buchnevich left the game at 7:06 of the second period, resting his right leg, and did not return.
