Coyotes At Blues Game Preview: Blues Must Carry On Without Backes

Ok, everyone, time for your headscratcher of the day: Magnus Paajarvi has three points in four games. Could it be he's not terrible?

No one has called him terrible, per se. Many, myself included, have consistently questioned his insertion into the line-up over Dmitrij Jaskin (who Hitchcock only felt the need to play after the Blues had run the score up on the Avalanche). It appears that as of late Paajarvi has not been useless. He's no Vladimir Tarasenko, but he pugs in on a line with Paul Stastny and Troy Brouwer tolerably ok.
