ST. LOUIS -- Despite regaining the edge in their second round series, the Colorado Avalanche aren't satisfied. Artturi Lehkonen scored twice, Darcy Kuemper ...

"We kind of lost our structure a bit and kind of having our numbers where we need them in order to generate some offense. Nathan MacKinnon assisted on the goal to give him points in seven straight postseason games. "I think there was a little bit of a momentum swing there," O'Connor said about the Blues changing goaltenders. "Of course it was a good answer from the last game," Lehkonen said. "I think even before that we felt our game coming a little more. I think their defenseman kind of collided with me and pushed me into him.

3 Takeaways From Blues' 5-2 Loss to Avalanche in Game 3 (The Hockey Writers)

The St. Louis Blues lost Game 3 on home ice 5-2 to the Colorado Avalanche. The Avalanche will now carry a 2-1 series lead going into Game 4.

I started with FanSided as a Baseball Contributor. Now I am writing about the NHL and the St. Louis Blues for The Hockey Writers. I grew up in Central Illinois as a huge fan of every sport. The Blues must come out fast and be ready to play a lot better in front of whoever their goaltender is. The series was an uphill battle for the Blues before it started, but now with the Binnington injury and series deficit, it becomes even more difficult. The Avalanche played nearly the entire game with only five defensemen, and the Blues could not take advantage of that. Binnington has been somewhat of a savior for the Blues in the playoffs, with a .948 save percentage (SV%) and a record of 4-1. It was less than seven minutes into the game when he left, and he had made three saves with a 1-0 lead.

With Husso backpedaling toward the vacated goal, Nathan MacKinnon found Landeskog open on left wing for the tally. Josh Manson came out of the penalty box to corral the puck and send O'Connor to score against Husso. Earlier in the game, Colorado defenseman Samuel Girard was injured when Ivan Barbashev drove him into the end boards.

Keeler: Nazem Kadri is innocent. Craig Berube's a clown. Would St ... (The Denver Post)

Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri (91) goes after the puck after falling against St. Louis Blues defenseman Justin Faulk (72) in the second period at The ...

“I think it was Binnington,” Kadri told reporters when asked about the bottle. With the Avs nursing a 3-2 cushion late in the third period, as a raucous Blues crowd tried to scream the home side back into the game, Husso’s brain locked up. One problem — the Blues turned it over, and before the netminder could get back, the Avs were zipping his way off the break. Someone who’d stand up to the bullies. Never mind that donnybrook in the crease. Husso was sent to the bench. It was textbook hot-goalie mode, a combination of reflexes and anticipation that starts to put a Cup favorite on dangerously thin ice. Last spring, Bednar’s roster got worn down physically by Vegas and mentally by Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. Avs faithful were desperate for a rough-and-tumble anti-hero of their own. The Avalanche dug themselves a 1-0 deficit, on the road, some 6:45 into Game 3. It’s a muddle. And it’s unfortunate, but it is what it is.” An unfortunate hockey play, but a hockey play nonetheless.
