Paajarvi scored twice to lead Blues to 4-1 win over Canucks
ST. LOUIS — Magnus Paajarvi has used a newfound wave of confidence to solidify his spot in the lineup and help the St. Louis Blues go on a strong run.
Paajarvi scored twice to lead the Blues to a 4-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night. St. Louis has won 14 of 20 since Feb. 7 after Paajarvi was recalled from Chicago of the AHL.
“My main thing is the confidence for me,” Paajarvi said. “I try to do things and drive the net with or without the puck and things happen. I got a couple goals here and there. That’s always nice for the confidence as well.”
Kyle Brodziak and Alex Pietrangelo also scored for the Blues who won their fourth straight to give them nine wins in their last 10. Jake Allen made 27 saves for his seventh win in eight starts while allowing just nine goals in the stretch.
