WINNIPEG, Manitoba — The Blues have been dominating on several occasions this season, particularly in getting off to a 5-0- 0 start.
Whatever the opposite of dominating is, that’s what they were Tuesday at Canada Life Centre. On the strength of Jordan Binnington’s dogged goaltending, they came home from Canada with two points with a 3-2 shootout victory. Go figure.
They finished a nine-day road trip that began with three games in California with a record of 2-1-1 and improved their overall record to 8-2-1. Ryan O’Reilly scored the only goal for either team in four rounds of shootout play. Including his four shootout stops, Binnington stopped 43 of 45 shots sent his way by Winnipeg.
