With a very young team on the ice, the Blues defeated the Arizona Coyotes 5-4 on Saturday at INTRUST Arena. Thirteen of the 20 Blues players at their preseason opener either were in the minors or junior hockey at the end of last season. But with eight exhibition games this year, which is more than usual, Saturday night was a time to look at the prospects and those veterans trying to squeeze onto a roster that’s pretty well set entering camp. Two players that appear to be competing for third-line spots up front, Jake Neighbours and Logan Brown, scored two goals apiece, with Brown scoring the game-winner with 4:10 to go in the game. [HEADING=1]Look who’s back[/HEADING] For the first time since Nazem Kadri slammed into Jordan Binnington in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals last May, leading to a series-ending knee injury, the Blues goalie was back in game action. Binnington got the start Saturday, much to the delight of the crowd at INTRUST. He played only the first period, stopping seven of eight Coyotes shots. Arizona’s goal came on the power play, with Blues prospect Landon Sim off for hooking. Nick Ritchie scored backdoor for the Coyotes on an assist from Barrett Hayton with 4:51 left in the period. Joel Hofer took over in the second period and finished off the game; he’s expected to be the No. 1 goalie this season for the Springfield Thunderbirds in the American Hockey League. [/QUOTE]
