The Blues beat Chicago 1-0 in their preseason finale tune-up, but the real story was in the details — from a bottom-six battle to a 20-year-old defenseman turning heads.
The St. Louis Blues defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 1-0 in a preseason game on Thursday. Calle Rosen scored the decisive goal at 3:39 of the third period with assists from Connor McMichael and Pavel Buchnevich. Goaltender Jordan Binnington stopped all 17 shots to secure the shutout as the Blues outshot Chicago 36-17.
Head coach Jim Montgomery praised Binnington's performance as exceptional following two previous preseason losses to Dallas. The contest served as a key roster audition for bubble players, including young defenseman Adam Jiricek, who logged 17:04 of ice time and registered four shots.
