Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf agreed. So as a substitute of relying 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 goal in three games after going with no goal in fifty four straight games; Maxim Lapierre, who performed essentially the most minutes (19:40) in a regular season games since playing 20:12 for the Montreal Canadiens against the brand new Jersey Devils on March 17, 2009; Chris Porter and Magnus Paajarvi, each healthy scratches Tuesday, performed key minutes. The Blues (1-3-1) close the preseason with home-and-residence games Thursday and Saturday towards the Minnesota Wild and feel they performed the form of game they’ve been gearing towards for the regular season. The Blues’ most spectacular victory on this young season got here without their top two centers and two of their top three right wings. Data was created by GSA Content Generator DEMO.
