Binnington brought the Stanley Cup to Richmond Hill on July 12, his Day with the Cup. Binnington's contract extension was renewed by the Blues the next day. The following year, 2021-20, was cut short by the outbreak of the COVID pandemic, prematurely ending the Blues' good season that saw them win the Central Division and finish first in the Western Conference. Binnington set a 30-13–7 record and a.912 save percentage. In a bubble environment in Canada, the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs were held later in the summer. Binnington failed in both the round robin phase and the first round series against the Vancouver Canucks, losing all five of his starts and a.851 save percentage. Jake Allen, the team's only victories in the postseason, was cited for backstopping the team's only victories.
With the pandemic continuing, the NHL slightly rebranded its look for the 2020–21 season, with all teams playing exclusively in their own divisions for the regular season. Binnington compiled an 18–14-8 record and a.910 save percentage overall, leading to a good stretch of games in April and a.9251 save percentage. Binnington's good fortune in April didn't continue into the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs, where the Blues were eliminated by the Colorado Avalanche in the first round, despite Binnington's second consecutive sub-.900.
The Blues had re-signed Binnington to a six-year, $36 million contract extension on March 11, 2021. Binnington's net struggles continued, and by the second half of the season, he had been supplanted as the Blues' starting goaltender by Ville Husso. With Husso's long and costly contract and Binnington's lengthy and costly deal on the books, there has been a lot of rumors regarding team goaltending's future. The Blues qualified for the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs, starting as underdogs against the Minnesota Wild, with Husso starting in net. Binnington regained the net with Game 4 and led the team on a three-game winning streak to clinch the series, despite being down 2–1 in the series.

Binnington's good results continued into the first two games, with the series tied 1–1 heading back to St. Louis. Binnington was injured midway through Game 3's first period when Avalanche's Nazem Kadri and Blues defenceman Calle Rosén crashed into him and was forced to leave the game. The Blues lost after Husso returned to the net. When asked about the incident, Blues coach Craig Berube said he had only seen "a look at Kadri's reputation." That's all I've got to say. Kadri denied that he had intended to hurt Binnington by making the play. During an on camera interview after the game, Binnington was accused by Kadri to have hurled a water bottle at him. Binnington had stopped 167 of 176 shots faced over six games at the time of his retirement, a.949 save percentage. Binnington will miss the remainder of the playoffs, according to the Blues later.
