Jordan Binnington made 27 saves as the St. Louis Blues defeated the visiting Colorado Avalanche 3-1 Sunday. Brayden Schenn, Colton Parayko and Dylan Holloway scored for the Blues, who had just two victories in their previous nine games.

With Binnington's performance for Team Canada earning plenty of plaudits, the Blues must decide if winning now or later is more important.

Colton Parayko had the go-ahead score in St. Louis’ three-goal second period, Jordan Binnington made 27 saves and the Blues topped the Colorado Avalanche 3-1 in the second of back-to-back games for the teams.
