In the aftermath of the Colorado Avalanche's 5-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues in Game 3 of their best-of-7 second round series, Blues' head coach had some pointed comments. Craig Berube was asked in his post-game availability about the play on which starting Blues' netminder, Jordan Binnington was hurt.

Binnington had to exit the game just 6:45 into the first period after a collision with Avalanche forward Nazem Kadri. Kadri was driving the net looking for a loose puck and collided with the goaltender. No penalty was called on the play.

Blues backup goalie for the series, Ville Husso replaced Binnington in net. Husso went 19 saves on 23 shots for a less than stellar .826 save percentage the rest of the game.

Binnington has been exceptional in this series against the high-flying Avs team. Through three games, Binnington made 84 saves on 88 shots for a .954 save percentage. If he is out for any extended period of time, it would be a huge blow to the Blues lineup. Husso would have big skates to fill, and he has limited playoff experience.
