The Blues’ win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night was one of the strangest games in eons. Down 3-0 by the end of the first period thanks to a myriad of fluky bounces, the team rallied and put up three unanswered goals, eventually winning in the shootout. Key to the win was Jordan Binnington, who coach Craig Berube refused to pull.
“There were bad bounces and they kind of were just shooting everything, going to the net, getting chaos, got some goals early and put us on our heels. But it was a good thing we settled and took a deep breath, all of us, and started to chip away, started getting back, winning battles and just kind of getting on our toes a bit more and started to build it.
