Watch: Jordan Binnington drills Evander Kane in the face following hard drive to the net
To say that Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington has a penchant for losing his cool would be the understatement of the century. We've seen him swing his stick at opposing players, throw a fake punch to try to punk out an opposing player and even hack at or shove players for real in certain situations.
Well, it would appear as though nothing has changed for Binnington for the 2022-23 season. He has once again embraced the feisty side of himself, and this time, directed his aggression towards Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane.
During a Wednesday meeting between the Oilers and his Blues, Binnington spotted Kane driving to the net hard. Binnington didn't appear to appreciate Kane's aggressive push to the top of his crease and delivered punch to Kane's face. There was no call on the play, despite this being an obvious infraction on Binnington's part.
These two players obviously do not appreciate one another. Perhaps you'll recall when Kane speared Binnington a couple of seasons back. Maybe this was just payback.
