Flash in the pan. Lightning in a bottle. Fifteen minutes of fame.

Some in the hockey world have whispered: Is Blues goalie Jordan Binnington the 2019 version of the Hamburglar?

They have held their breath, waiting for the moment to declare his Cinderella run dead after watching Andrew Hammond’s spectacular 2015 run with the Ottawa Senators fizzle out, that same form never to be regained again in the NHL.

Well, Binnington’s aura of invincibility was pierced again on Saturday night in the Shark Tank after allowing five goals to open the Western Conference final.

But those holding their breath might soon turn blue in the face. Binnington has been the Bounce Back Kid, responding to his first 10 losses in the NHL with an 8-2-0 record and .934 save percentage.

He’ll have to do it again in Game 2 on Monday night for the Blues to avoid falling into a 2-0 series hole, as St. Louis chases its first Stanley Cup final appearance since 1970.

“He’s been doing that all year,” coach Craig Berube said Sunday. “I think he’s got a calm head. He forgets about it and moves on. It wasn’t a great game for anybody. But you’ve got to move on, learn from it and make some corrections. He’ll do the same thing.”
