(Eric Bolte-Imagn Images) Jordan Binnington picked up where he left off in international competition. The St. Louis Blues [http://thn.com/stlouis] goalie was representing Canada for the first time Tuesday at the IIHF World Championship since he was in goal in the championship game at the 4 Nations Face-Off when Canada defeated the United States 3-2 in overtime. It wasn't as dramatic this time, but Binnington had himself a relatively simple, polished 15-save shutout in Canada's 5-0 win over France in pool play at Avicii Arena in Stockhold, Sweden. Binnington was making his debut for Canada, which is 3-0-0-0 after wins against Slovenia (4-0) on Saturday and Latvia (7-1) on Sunday. Marc-Andre Fleury, who recently retired from the NHL with the Minnesota Wild [http://thn.com/minnesota], played on Sunday and was the backup behind Binnington on Tuesday. Binnington and Blues captain Brayden Schenn, who had an assist on Tuesday, each committed to international play last Thursday [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/st-louis-blues/latest-news/two-blues-added-to-canadas-roster-for-world-championship]. Schenn was a plus-1 and had one shot on goal in 13:53. Blues forward Alexandre Texier made his debut in the tournament for France, which has dropped all three games thus far, and was a minus-1 in 17:35.
