Blais dished out an assist to go with three hits in Thursday's 8-2 win over Detroit.
Scouting Report
An in-your-face type, he is an aggressive forechecker who loves to hit. He can play either wing position effectively. Was a big scorer in junior hockey but is settling in as more of a role player in the NHL, generating some offense but being relied upon more as a checker. Continues to have problems with injuries, mostly because of the hard game he plays.
Long Range Potential: Energetic, role-playing winger (when healthy).
