Marc-Andre Fleury Reveals Why He Wanted to Drop Jordan Binnington
The Minnesota Wild won the game against the St. Louis Blues 8-5, but the game's most notable moment came when Marc-Andre Fleury confronted Jordan Binnington in the late 2nd period. After Ryan Hartman's powerplay goal, he made contact with Binnington, prompting the Blues goaltender to use his blocker to hit Hartman. Fleury charged down the ice to intervene, but officials prevented him from reaching Binnington.
After the game, Marc-Andre Fleury revealed that Binnington had intentionally hit one of his teammates "in the nutsack" and threw another one at their player, which triggered his reaction. Fleury stated that he was not surprised by Binnington's behavior, having seen him do similar things before.
Players are now starting to hold Binnington accountable for his actions, and it is possible that he may face supplementary discipline for striking another player in a sensitive area. The League has announced that Binnington will have a hearing regarding the incident.
