DENVER (AP) — David Perron scored twice, Jordan Binnington made 30 saves and the St. Louis Blues beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-1 to tie their second-round series at a game apiece. Jordan Kyrou added a goal and Brandon Saad sealed it with an empty-netter for the Blues. It was another stellar performance from Binnington. He’s flashing his 2019 form, when as a rookie he led the Blues to a Stanley Cup title with a 16-10 mark and a 2.46 goals-against average.  Gabriel Landeskog scored on a power play early in the third. But Perron answered right back with his seventh goal of these playoffs. Darcy Kuemper stopped 28 shots.
