Reaves vs Ott
Ryan Reaves will make his second appearance of the series in game 3. His last appearance was in game 2 vs Chicago. Since then he has been replaced by Steve Ott. Was it coincidence that the return of one of hockey's most feared enforcers also marked the Blues first win of the series?
It could be strictly coincidence. Steve Ott has a single assist in the playoffs after playing in 6 games. Reaves has 0 points in 3 games. During the regular season Ott had 0 goals and 2 assists in 21 games. Reaves had 3 goals and 1 assist in 64 games.
