The St. Louis Blues looked to win their second consecutive game against the Colorado Avalanche as they returned home to the Enterprise Center for Game 3 on Saturday night. But the Blues didn’t get their wish, despite a fast start in front of the hometown fans. The Avalanche won 5-2 for a 2-1 series lead.
The loss wasn’t the Blues’ only concern. Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington recently won back his starting gig in the playoffs. However, Binnington sustained a lower-body injury in the first period and never returned.
Blues head coach Craig Berube confirmed in postgame Binnington was undergoing an evaluation for an injury.
