St. Louis Game Time PROSPECT SUNDAYS
Some of the Blues' lesser-known forward prospects moved to the forefront over the last seven days, and one prospect who has led his league in scoring all season remains at the top of the leader board in his circuit.
Center Nicholas Drazenovic (171st overall, 2005) scored a pair of goals, and chipped in an assist as well, despite the Rivermen posting only a 1-2-1 record over the last seven days. The Prince George, BC native tallied Peoria's only goal of the game in a 2-1 SO loss to division-leading Texas on Jan. 31 at home, and scored again on Feb. 5 in a 6-3 win over the Stars in Austin.
Meanwhile, in the United States League, Minnesota-born Max Tardy picked up an unassisted goal in overtime on Feb. 6 to lead the Tri-City (Kearney, NE) Storm to a 3-2 win over the Cedar Rapids (IA) Roughriders. Tardy also tallied a power-play goals for the Storm on Feb. 3 in a 7-5 loss at Green Bay, but was a minus-5 for the game thanks to three goals in 54 seconds by the Gamblers during the first period.
Across the pond, Jori Lehtera continues to lead the Finnish Elite League (SM-Liiga) in scoring at the tender age of 21. The 65th pick overall in 2008 has a solid 18-35-53 scoring line in 43 games for Tappara Tampere, and his plus-4 mark, 50 PIM, and eight power-play tallies speak to his all-around game.
