St. Louis Blues
Goaltender Jordan Binnington was the front page story in game four making 29 saves to register yet another playoff victory and made some team history at the 2-1 win.
It had been playoff win number 10 to get Binnington, moving him past Brian Elliott (2016) and Roman Turek (2001) for the most wins by a Blues goalie in a single playoffs year. He’s the 10th rookie netminder to win a minimum of 10 games in one postseason in league history.
The Blues power-play scored for a second straight game (in game four) and that is a good sign, since the team that had gone 0-for-18 together with the man advantage prior to scoring in game .
San Jose Sharks
Game four didn’t begin well for the Sharks, as Ivan Barbashev gave the Blues the lead only 35 seconds into the game.
Tomas Hertl scored the team’s only aim of the game. This was his 10th of this post season, which is the second most goals scored by a play this post season. Team partner Logan Couture leads with 15.
Ironically, Hertl’s goal snapped the Sharks’ scoreless streak of 226 minutes, 48 minutes in Game 4’s this postseason after being shut out in the initial two rounds (Vegas/Colorado).
Keep a look out on defenceman Erik Karlsson in this game. At the conclusion of game four Karlsson has been in evident distress midway through the third period. He missed a handful of changes in regulation time until he managed to return for the final two minutes, when the Sharks pulled goalie Martin Jones and made one last push.
