One week ago, Magnus Paajarvi recorded no points and no shots in the Chicago Wolves’ 3-2 overtime win over the Rockford IceHogs. Tonight, he plays in Montreal on a line with Vladimir Tarasenko and Alexander Steen.
What happened?
Primarily, the Blues are dealing with injuries. Following Robby Fabbri’s season ending ACL injury, Paajarvi and Kenny Agostino were recalled. With Paul Stastny’s lower body injury in Toronto on Thursday, a spot opened up, and Paajarvi got the call.
He recorded his second goal and second game winning goal of the season on Tuesday in Ottawa, and chipped in the primary assist on Patrik Berglund’s goal in Toronto.
