Sometimes, you just have to get yourself right. Against all odds, the job and everyday struggle has to be set aside for someone to find peace. That’s what happened with former St. Louis Blue, Patrik Berglund, this season.
Traded to Buffalo in the blockbuster deal that brought Ryan O’Reilly to St. Louis, Berglund never found his footing with the Sabres. He couldn’t find the back of the net, and was relegated to third and fourth line minutes. In 23 games, Berglund amassed just 4 points, 2 goals, for Buffalo. On Dec. 8, he played his last game before disappearing.
