The Blues looked like they were caught in a hurricane during the first period. They were outshot 13–2 and had very little offensive zone time, but another stellar performance from Jordan Binnington kept the Hurricanes to one goal, scored by Mark Jankowski, in the first period. Binnington was exceptional all night. He faced at least three back-door chances, including two in the third period, where he flew across the net to make saves. Jordan Binnington saved 31 of 32 shots, with at least six of those being high-danger shots. Binnington was one of, if not the, main reasons the Blues won against the Hurricanes.
