October 1, 2008 Andy McDonald continues to rack up points during exhibition play. On Wednesday he had a goal and two assists in the Blues 7-3 win over Toronto.
Our View:McDonald is having as good a preseason as anyone and is clearly comfortable on a line with Brad Boyes and Lee Stempniak. Expect a much bigger fantasy contribution from him this season.
September 29, 2008 Three nights after registering five assists in a game, Andy McDonald showed that he could score as well. He had one goal in a 4-3 SO loss to Toronto on Monday.
Our View:McDonald looks more comfortable heading the Blues' second unit so far in the preseason. Lee Stempniak and David backes will likely be his linemates in the coming season.
September 27, 2008 The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Andy McDonald had five assists on Friday as the Blues scored nine goals on the Thrashers. “There were a lot of positives, but you certainly don’t want to get too excited about that,” McDonald said. “You look at the lineup we had dressed and the lineup they had dressed . . . we just want to take some positives from it and realize we’ve still got a lot of hard work ahead of us. There’s a lot of confidence in this room about our ability.”
Our View:McDonald figures to play in between Lee Stempniak and Brad Boyes on St. Louis' top line. They combined for 12 points on Friday night.
