Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf agreed. So instead of counting on their captain (Backes), assistant captain (Oshie), prized free agent signing (Stastny) and one other of their free agent signings (Lindstrom), the Blues relied on the likes of Ryan Reaves, who scored his second aim in three video games after going without a purpose in fifty four straight video games; Maxim Lapierre, who played essentially the most minutes (19:40) in a daily season video games since playing 20:12 for the Montreal Canadiens towards the brand new Jersey Devils on March 17, 2009; Chris Porter and Magnus Paajarvi, each healthy scratches Tuesday, played key minutes. The Blues (1-3-1) shut the preseason with dwelling-and-residence games Thursday and Saturday against the Minnesota Wild and really feel they performed the sort of recreation they’ve been gearing in direction of for the regular season. The Blues’ most impressive victory on this younger season got here without their prime two centers and two of their high three right wings. Data was created by GSA Content Generator DEMO.
