Game three saw a somewhat different St. Louis team take the ice as they dropped a high scoring game to the Winnipeg Jets. The goaltending was off, the defense looked slow, and the offense didn’t utilize their usual dump-and-chase strategy against the Jets in game three. But post-game interviews had Blues players saying the performance was a one-off and that the team is far from panic mode.

Alex Pietrangelo leads in playoff scoring for the St. Louis Blues. Through three games, Pietrangelo has four assists and nine shots. Behind him is David Perron, who has two goals and one assist with a 40 percent shooting percentage.

It is expected that Jordan Binnington, who went 24-5-1 during the regular season, will get the start for St. Louis is game four. Binnington is 2-1 in the playoffs with a goals against average of 3.36 and a save percentage of .880.
