Brent C. Wagner; Journal Star.com --- Paul Ladue, a 19-year old defenseman, has shown he belongs with the Lincoln Stars after playing one season with Alexandria (Minn.) in the NAHL.Also it would appear that Fighting Sioux recruit Luke Johnson is currently out of the line up with an undisclosed injury.
He scored the game-winning goal in the Stars' 3-1 win against Indiana last week. The power-play goal, on a shot through traffic, was a memorable first USHL goal.
"That was exciting," Ladue said this week. "I always like playing those hyped-up teams. I feel like we're one of the best in the league if we play our best. It was fun upsetting them.
"I had a few chances the night before against Sioux Falls I should have put in, but to get that goal one game after was exciting and a huge relief."
Ladue is in the top six in scoring for the Stars (4-2) with one goal and two assists. He's one of the top defensemen on the power play, and has played in all six games.
*The Stars will be short-handed because of injuries for their game at Cedar Rapids (4-1-2) on Friday. Those injured include Luke Johnson, Brent Tate, Colton Saucerman and Dominik Shine.
