EDMONTON, Alberta — The Vancouver Canucks brought a bright, young team to the Western Conference bubble, lacking in postseason experience but boasting several budding stars.
The Canucks sent St. Louis goalie Jordan Binnington to the bench early with three scores in a span of 6:03 in the second period, eliminating the defending champion Blues with a 6-2 victory in Game 6 of their first round series on Friday night.
Blues coach Craig Berube put Binnington back in the net after a rough night for Jake Allen in Wednesday’s loss.
The Canucks win the series 4-2, and the defending Stanley Cup Champions have some things to figure out after a dismal season restart.
