"Game Time" PROSPECT SUNDAYS.

This has been a week in the Blues' system where the forward prospects took center stage.

All of this week's upward trenders were forwards, with contributions ranging from Lars Eller's three goals in the week to Jori Lehtera's half-dozen assists.

Receiving honorable mention this week is -- who else -- goaltender Jake Allen, who is no longer just "trending" upward, but seems on a steady climb towards becoming the elite "home-grown" goaltnder Blues' fans have been craving since Curtis Joseph. Allen played only 72 minutes this past week, allowing just a single goal in a 9-1 thumping of Val-d'Or on Friday for an 0.83 GAA. Allen also stopped 16 of 17 shots against in limited playing time for a 94.1% save percentage.
