The numbers were respectable enough (2.68 goals-against average, .908 save percentage). Take away the 6-3 loss in Game 3, and goalie Jordan Binnington carried the Blues through a tightly contested series.
Binnington, who was 24-5-1 record with an NHL-leading 1.89 GAA and a .927 save percentage during the regular season, made key saves despite Winnipeg trying to intimidate the rookie goalie. Jets fans tried getting under his skin with chants of 'You look nervous!'
"[Binnington's] been composed for quite some time," Blues coach Craig Berube said. "Mentally never getting out of character. Even-keeled, just like our team. That's what we talk about all the time, staying even-keeled. Ups and downs are going to happen, so just stay with it. He's done that. That's exactly what he's done."
