The Nashville Predators went into the second half of this back-to-back coming off a win last night which nevertheless added Alexandre Carrier to the unavailable list. The St. Louis Blues, no pushover at any time and having a great start to the season, were to be backup goalie David Rittich’s first test in gold.
After just a little back and forth and some checking, Michael McCarron and the Blues’ Dakota Joshua got into a fight as each of them got their first shift of the game, and both took their seats in the sin bin for five minutes.
