These are desperate times for the St. Louis Blues.
The Blues, winless in five games so far in Edmonton, might bench Stanley Cup-winning goaltender Jordan Binnington for Game 3 of their best-of-seven first-round Western Conference playoff series against the Vancouver Canucks.
Blues coach Craig Berube was noncommittal when asked if he would start Jake Allen in net on Sunday night.
"That's something I'll discuss (Saturday) with the coaching staff," Berube said after a 4-3 overtime loss in Game 2 Friday. "That's as far as I'm going to take that."
The Blues entered the postseason with the best record in the conference but lost all three of their games in the round-robin -- dropping to the fourth seed -- and the first two games against the fifth-seeded Canucks.
