Binnington allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Blues victor vs. the Blue Jackets last Friday. Jake Allen finally gave him a night off on Saturday but they'll go right back to Binnington in Vancouver. Binnington has gone 5-1-0 with a 2.17 GAA and .926 SV% in his last six starts, putting him back firmly among the top goalies in the league. The Canucks' offence is among the best in the league right now but it's hard to justify benching Binnington.
