Things like that happen, we're a good team and we could have done a better job of getting momentum back." Binner is a heart and soul (player), playing unbelievable," Blues captain Ryan O'Reilly said of the play. “I was just kind of sitting behind him and just tried to poke it with my stick.

(AP) – Despite regaining the edge in their second-round series, the Colorado Avalanche aren't satisfied. Artturi Lehkonen scored twice, Darcy Kuemper ...

“We kind of lost our structure a bit and kind of having our numbers where we need them in order to generate some offense. “I think there was a little bit of a momentum swing there,” O’Connor said about the Blues changing goaltenders. Nathan MacKinnon assisted on the goal to give him points in seven straight postseason games. “Of course it was a good answer from the last game,” Lehkonen said. “I was just kind of sitting behind him and just tried to poke it with my stick. I think their defenseman kind of collided with me and pushed me into him.

The Colorado Avalanche took down the St. Louis Blues in Game 3 and will look to build on their 2-1 series lead at Enterprise Center on May 23.

Statistically, the Avs have already been the better team at 5v5, as they lead this series in scoring chances, high-danger chances, and expected goals, according to Natural Stat Trick. Losing their No. 1 netminder likely changes the Blues’ approach to the game. His poor play is what gave Binnington an opportunity between the pipes in the first place. Binnington was removed from Game 3 after Nazem Kadri and Calle Rosen crashed into him in the crease. The Blues didn’t leave the contest unscathed either, as goaltender Jordan Binnington suffered a lower-body injury and could be out for weeks, according to The Athletic. Defenceman Samuel Girard suffered an injury early on, and he’ll be out for the rest of the postseason.

The Colorado Avalanche and St. Louis Blues clashed Saturday night in St. Louis to determine which team would take a 2-1 lead in the series.

And despite the extra workload, I thought it was Makar’s best game of the series. It’s not just because O’Reilly has scored seven goals in the postseason and is riding a seven-game scoring streak. But his consistency is still a work in progress, and the Avalanche are deep. O’Connor’s goal was something of a broken play, and Husso had just entered the game. Case in point: Ryan O’Reilly’s goal in the dying moments of the second period. He suffered a broken sternum on the play and is out for the remainder of the season. And at times O’Connor has shown a nose for the net. And I think that might have played a factor in Kadri driving the St. Louis net with reckless abandon. Kadri was behind Rosen and he sent the Blues defenseman flying into his own goalie. But here’s the thing: it wasn’t a penalty. And while the Avalanche prevailed 5-2, it was a much closer game than the score would indicate. And while I do think Colorado was the better team, St. Louis pushed hard and kept the game within one goal until late in the third period.

The best player in the second-round series between the Colorado Avalanche and St. Louis Blues got knocked out early in the first period.

Ahead of Dallas’ must-win Game 3 matchup against the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals on Sunday, it has been fined a whopping $100,000 for antics in Game 2’s loss to Golden State Friday evening. They have a seven-game lead over the Phillies and looked to be in great position to coast through the regular season en route to a division title. The Avalanche rebounded from a 4-1 loss in Game 2, taking control of Game 3 in the second period and never allowing the Blues back in the game. They've got one of the best rotations in the league and their offense is putting it together. The intriguing Florida product has struggled to stay on the field and been a bit of a headache off it for the Giants, leading to some tension. Not only would this be his first major victory, but this would be his first win since becoming a member of the PGA Tour. Can he calm and nerves and hold on to the lead? Brown admitted after the game that he did a “s— job” of taking care of the basketball and said he needs to be “stronger” when he gets into the paint. The Boston Red Sox and the Seattle Mariners are two teams fighting to get back to .500. The Red Sox will put their faith in Nathan Eovaldi to finish this series off strongly.

The Avalanche look to take control of the series in Game 4, which is slated for Monday in St. Louis. The goal was a gritty play fans are used to from Kadri, deflecting a shot from the point by Cale Makar into the Blues net. He also added an empty-netter on Saturday. It was the first two-goal playoff game of his career.

Binnington was hit by Avalanche players Calle Rosen and Nazem Kadri, who were driving to the net.

Multiple NHL sources told ESPN on Sunday that the league would not fine nor suspend Binnington over the incident. "The guy is on record for calling another player a 'monkey' but he's talking about reputation." The situation with Binnington took an odd turn after the game. Aliu told ESPN that Kadri felt unsafe at the Avalanche's team hotel in St. Louis, partially due to social media threats. Aliu and Kadri are founding members of the Hockey Diversity Alliance, an organization of current and former hockey players of color that is seeking to eradicate racism from the game. The NHL Department of Player Safety determined there was no supplemental discipline necessary for him.

That water bottle tossed toward Colorado Avalanche forward Nazem Kadri hardly came out of nowhere.

"If they want to play like that, we got the guys that can match that," Gallant said. We got the guy that can handle all their guys if we want to." "You got a lot of memory in this (series). You think about things, and like I said, it might be on the other foot someday." The Blues said Sunday that Binnington would miss the remainder of the second-round series with a lower-body injury. ... The D and Naz are both going for the puck sitting at the top of the crease skating as hard as they can go. They're both going after the puck the same way and they collide before they go in.
