It was going to take a special performance by someone on the St. Louis Blues to help push them over the top and earn a win against the defending Stanley Cup champion, Vegas Golden Knights in their barn.

Jordan Binnington was more than a willing participant. The goalie stopped 33 shots, including two breakaways, poke-checked two would-be scoring opportunities and faced 20 high-danger Corsi-for chances by the Golden Knights and was only beaten once before Pavel Buchnevich netted the game-winner in a 2-1 win in overtime on Monday night at T-Mobile Arena.

There comes a time when goalies need to play above and beyond what's expected of them, and Binnington, who is 3-1-0 in his past four starts and has been solid in all of them, did his part, and the Blues (13-10-1) got just enough offense to reward their goalie.
