Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf agreed. So instead of counting on their captain (Backes), assistant captain (Oshie), prized free agent signing (Stastny) and another of their free agent signings (Lindstrom), the Blues relied on the likes of Ryan Reaves, who scored his second purpose in three games after going with out a aim in 54 straight video games; Maxim Lapierre, who performed the most minutes (19:40) in a daily season games since playing 20:12 for the Montreal Canadiens towards the new Jersey Devils on March 17, 2009; Chris Porter and Magnus Paajarvi, each healthy scratches Tuesday, played key minutes. The Blues (1-3-1) close the preseason with home-and-house games Thursday and Saturday in opposition to the Minnesota Wild and really feel they played the type of sport they’ve been gearing in the direction of for the regular season. The Blues’ most spectacular victory on this younger season came without their top two centers and two of their top three proper wings. Data was created by GSA Content Generator DEMO.
