Scott and Janssen Were Ready to Fight

“I love fighting him,” Scott said. “I wanted to beat him up bad, so I kind of wanted to get it over with early. I just looked at him and it’s go time.”

Janssen was anxious to set a physical tone for the Blues, who lost 7-5 at Chicago last month but dominated throughout in a 3-1 victory Tuesday. He didn’t mind battling a much larger foe, either.

“I knew he’d probably be running around, so I wanted to set it off as quick as I could, get the boys going as soon as possible,” Janssen said.
