In a recent hockey game, Nathan MacKinnon showcased his remarkable speed and strength to maneuver around Justin Faulk, who is feeling better but still dealing with a lower-body injury. MacKinnon then delivered an exceptional pass to Mikko Rantanen, who successfully scored against Jordan Binnington, putting their team ahead by 1-0. The goal was notably skilled, with Rantanen executing a precise finish from the slot. It's suggested that Binnington may not have had a clear view of the shot due to Scott Perunovich's defending. This moment highlights the high level of skill and teamwork between MacKinnon and Rantanen, with Rantanen catching Binnington off guard.

MacKinnon showing off his speed/strength to get around Faulk, who is feeling better but still dealing with that lower-body injury. Then a heckuva pass to Rantanen who beats Binnington, 1-0. Not sure Binnington had a full view with Perunovich defending in front. #stlblues
