Binnington made 30 saves in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Jets.
Making his first start since Nov. 30 after a stint in the COVID-19 protocols, Binnington blanked Winnipeg through the first period before the rust began to show. The 28-year-old carries an 8-6-3 record on the season with a 2.87 GAA and .910 save percentage, and given the success Charlie Lindgren had while Binnington was sidelined, it's no sure thing the latter will simply reclaim No. 1 duties right away.
