Blues' Binnington, Schenn representing Canada at Worlds
St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington and captain Brayden Schenn will represent Canada at the 2025 IIHF World Championship, the team announced Thursday.
The tournament kicks off Friday and runs through May 25 in Stockholm, Sweden, and Herning, Denmark.
Binnington played for Team Canada at the 2024 tournament, picking up six wins and an .885 save percentage in eight appearances en route to a fourth-place finish.
The netminder was outstanding in a starting role for Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off in February, going 3-1 with a .907 clip and 2.37 goals against average. He made 31 saves on 33 shots in the final against Team USA.
Schenn has suited up in four Worlds but hasn't featured at the tournament since 2018. He won gold with Canada in 2015 and silver in 2017.
The veteran forward chipped in with 18 goals and 50 points in 82 games this regular season. Binnington, meanwhile, went 28-22-5 with a .900 save percentage. They won the Stanley Cup together in 2019.
The Blues' season ended with a Game 7 double-overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Sunday.
Canada opens its World Championship on Saturday against Slovenia at 6:20 a.m. ET.
