MONTREAL — Jordan Binnington will open the 4 Nations Face-Off in the spotlight.

Head coach Jon Cooper announced the St. Louis Blues goaltender will start for Canada against Sweden when the countries raise the curtain on the tournament Wednesday night at the Bell Centre.

The 31-year-old got the nod ahead of Vegas Golden Knights netminder Adin Hill and Montreal Canadiens counterpart Sam Montembeault

Binnington backstopped St. Louis to a Stanley Cup victory in 2019, but doesn’t have great numbers in 2024-25.

The Richmond Hill, Ont., product is 15-19-4 with an .897 save percentage and a 2.89 goals-against average to go along with three shutouts.
