The St. Louis Blues grabbed a Game 1 victory against the Winnipeg Jets thanks to a nifty goal from David Perron<\/a>, relentless determination from Tyler Bozak<\/a> and some outstanding goaltending from Jordan Binnington<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That last point, Binnington’s play in the crease, deserves to be highlighted. On a day in which some reporters tried to expose some old Tweets that proved to be not worthy of a story, Binnington stood tall and held on to his unwavering resolve. He was knocked over by Mark Scheifele<\/a>. He also allowed the series’ first goal to Patrik Laine<\/a>. Those bumps in the road could have unraveled a rookie goaltender.<\/p>\n

Instead, Binnington maintained his high level of confidence and rattled off some great saves. The best was a final-minute pad save on Scheifele, the same player who ran him over earlier in the game.<\/p>\n
