Micalef made 33 saves on 35 Chicago
shots, including at least five spec-
tacular saves on breakaways. He was
named the game's first star for his ef-
forts.
"I PEEL sharp," said Micalef. "This

playoffs, I'll be there."
"We have two goaltenders that are
playing real well," said coach Nick
Polano. "This gives us something we
haven't had before going into the
playoffs."
And going into the playoffs, Polano
has confidence in his team's ability to
.handle the Blackhawks. "Against
Chicago we've played extremely well
in this building (Joe Louis Arena).
We've had some trouble winning there
(in Chicago), but we still play ex-

"You don't try to jockey for _position
or you get into bad habits," said Park,
when asked if the team had tried to lose.
If St. Louis manages a win or a tie in
either its game last night against Min-
nesota or tonight against the Red
Wings, Chicago will be Detroit's first
round opponent next Wednesday.
