After all, there was high-powered Edmonton with two of the best players in the world in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. And the balanced Blues with eight players on their roster who scored 20 goals last season. But that’s what we had Saturday afternoon at Rogers Place – at least until Justin Faulk’s empty-net goal with 62 seconds. The Blues have yet to lose this season after a 2-0 win over the Oilers. In fact, they’ve yet to trail. And what a turn of events for Jordan Binnington. Pulled in the first period the last time he was here; and hailed as a hero on Saturday after posting his 11th career shutout. At 3-0-0 the Blues are off to Winnipeg, where they close out this season-opening road trip Monday against the Jets. [B]A new year, new time[/B] The last time the Blues played here, on April 1 of the 2021-22 season, Jordan Binnington was pulled 13 minutes 30 seconds into the game after allowing four goals on 13 shots. A terse Berube said afterwards that Binnington simply needed to play better. [/QUOTE]
