St. Louis Blues‘ 3rd round pick in the 2011 draft (#88 overall) goaltender Jordan Binnington(30) has one of the more interesting artist renderings on his mask for 2014/2015.
That’s Will Smith as The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air that graces one side of his cage.
The story goes he is a huge fan of the actor in the tv show and thinks he can basically do no wrong on the silver screen.
Between the pipes the 2nd year net minder is earning his keep with minor league affiliate Chicago Wolves.
The 6’1″ 176 lbs. backstop has a 11-6 record in 19 AHL games with a 2.33 GAA, .911 SV% and one shutout.
He played the majority of his rookie season in the ECHL posting similar stats but was fairly outstanding in three Kelly Cup Playoff games going 1-1-1 with a 1.89 GAA and .946 SV%.
The 21-year old won the 2011 OHL Championship and was voted Outstanding Goalie at the Memorial Cup despite not winning.
He was also named 2013 Goaltender Of The Year in his final season with Owen Sound Attack.
He’s received one recall and probably isn’t too far from an NHL start.
