Guy's had an itinerant, hired gun existence this season. Started with an ECHL-only deal with stops with the Flyers and Bruins AHL affiliates.

Gillies has always seemed like a great dude. Happy for him.

That photo looks like it could've been from his PTO time with the Blues.

Binnington has COVID, Husso injured his groin and Hoffer salary is too high to be called up, so they are down to Lindgren as the starter for the next 3 games and Gillies as backup

A goalie who can travel easily could have worked a number of organizations this year.

Always had high hopes for Gillies. Sometimes all a goalie need is a little more time and a chance.

Mildly amused that Buddy Robinson scored the opening goal.

He stopped 36 out of 39 shots in an OT loss. Good on Gillies!

Always root for former flames prospects.

Lol now I feel like I'm missing something...

It's a really bad photoshop right? Like he's got a flames helmet and St Louis Jersey...

He was once one of our top 2 prospects, but injuries ate into his career. Too bad.

Traded to the Devils for future considerations

https://www.nhl.com/blues/news/blues...ey/c-329031430

The St. Louis Blues traded goaltender Jon Gillies to the New Jersey Devils for future considerations on Wednesday.

Gillies, 27, was signed to a one-year, two-way contract last week because Jordan Binnington was in COVID-19 protocols and Ville Husso sustained a lower-body injury.

Gillies became the fifth goalie to play for the Blues this season when he started Sunday against the Anaheim Ducks. Gillies made 36 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss.

Binnington has been cleared from COVID-19 protocols and will be eligible to rejoin the team for practice on Thursday. Binnington has missed seven games while in protocol.
