Binnington Surrenders Four in 1st In Crazy Friday Night Matchup vs. EDM

The St. Louis Blues are a team that relies pretty heavily on goaltending. Even though most teams depend on adequate goaltending, some teams literally sink or swim with or without it.

The Blues absolutely need their goalies to play at a high level. They relied on Jordan Binnington when they won their Stanley Cup, which was an amazing run. One for the history books, really.

However, since then Jordan Binnington has barely played replacement-level hockey. STL is in a playoff spot because Ville Husso jumped off the top-rope and has top 6 goaltending numbers this season. The Blues are in must-win territory, & it isn't crazy to say that they cannot start Binnington at this point. He's been flat-out bad, & it might be time to give Husso the crease full-time.

After EDM earned a 4-1 lead in the first, in typical Oiler fashion they relinquished the three goal-lead for the fourth time in a calendar week. Yikes. After 5-5 third period, the two teams headed to OT. Guess what happened after that...

Connor McDavid scores the OT winner from Leon Draisaitl. This is quite literally the quintessential Oilers' victory under GM Ken Holland.
