Funny business going on here. Miller goes on LTIR for at least 10 days, but no one knows of an injury... i dont get it.
DETROIT -- Goalie Brian Elliott made 29 saves and the St. Louis Blues held on for a 2-1 win against the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena on Wednesday. "The Red Wings are a good team and this is always a tough building to play in," said Blues captain David Backes, who had two assists. "It seems like the fans are right on top of you. We had only five defensemen and we were able to do the little things." After the morning skate, Sr. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock thought defenseman Carl Gunnarsson would be able to return from an upper-body injury. Defenseman Colton Parayko was ill and didn't skate in the morning and was scratched. But Hitchcock found out Gunnarsson wouldn't be able to play about two and a half hours before the game. "We had to change our defensive structure," Hitchcock said. "We've done it three times in the past couple of weeks. The guys have been able to adjust." Elliott has won five of six starts in place of injured Jake Allen (knee). "Everything he saw he stopped," Backes said. "He kept us in the game and we were able to reward him with a couple of goals and get him the win."
