Sundqvist, Binnington help Blues open with 4-1 win over Avs

He certainly did that and more — with a bruise to show for it.
Sundqvist scored twice and blocked four shots, Jordan Binnington made 26 saves and the St. Louis Blues beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-1 on Wednesday night in the season opener for both teams.
The Blues had to juggles things around when they found out forward Mike Hoffman couldn’t play due to visa issues. The team was looking forward to having him in the lineup, too. He signed a one-year contract Monday after signing a professional tryout agreement with St. Louis on Dec. 27.
