The St. Louis Blues came into their game against the Anaheim Ducks on a two-game win streak. It was, sadly, only the second time all year they'd won back-to-back.
With that in mind, it was good to see them come out strong. Even though they struggled to hit the net in the first few minutes, the Blues were the better team and looked sharper.
That started to change with an Oskar Sundqvist high-sticking penalty. The Blues killed it off, but the Ducks started feeling better, and they also scored the first goal of the game. I rarely blame the goalie, but Jordan Binnington didn't seem ready for a shot from the left boards, and it beat him short side when it seemed like he had the angle covered.
