Binnington earned his first shutout of the season and the 13th of his career.
Jonas Johansson stopped 24 shots for Tampa Bay (6-6-4), which dropped its third straight and was shutout for the second game in a row.
Kapanen scored his third goal of the season into an empty net with 3:58 remaining and Kyrou scored his second goal of the game and fourth of the season with 42 seconds remaining to seal the win for St. Louis.
