They stuck with the game plan. And they had just enough offense on Saturday afternoon at Rogers Place. But the story of their 2-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers begins and ends with goalie Jordan Binnington. “He was exceptional again,” defenseman Nick Leddy said. “He made those key saves when we needed them, and that’s what you need to go deep and have a great year.” “We knew he’d come in here and put on a show for us,” said D-man Torey Krug, who scored the game’s only goal — with a goalie in the net, anyway. “You can tell when he’s engaged, he’s playing the puck really well. That’s the first sign of that, and he makes the stops when we need it. “When he’s playing confident, our whole team plays confident and it bleeds throughout our lineup.” But what made the afternoon even more special was the state of Jordan Binnington the last time the Blues were in this building — on April 1, 2022. He was slumping mightily at the time, you might recall. He yielded four goals in just 13 ½ minutes before being pulled in favor of Ville Husso. The Blues rallied for a point in a 6-5 overtime loss, but an exasperated Berube said Binnington simply had to play better. [/QUOTE]
