St. Louis Game Time PROSPECT SUNDAYS

No less than eight forward prospects in the Blues' system -- even including tough guy Anthony Peluso -- were point-per-game producers or better in the past week.

Leading the way in points scored this week was veteran Pascal Pelletier in Peoria. The Labrador City, NF native scored twice on the power play and added five assists during four games played this week for a strong seven-point showing. Teammates Lars Eller (3-2-5, plus-4), Nick Drazenovic (2-2-4, plus 1, 1 PP, 1 SH, 1 GW), and Brett Sonne (1-3-4, 5 PM, 1 PPG) also had solid weeks for the Rivermen.

Across the pond, Finnish sensation Jori Lehtera continues to tear up the SM-Liiga, tallying six assists in three games over the last seven days. Lehtera has led the Finnish Elite League in scoring virtually since Day One of the current season, and speculation is that rather than come across at the end of Tappara's season as he did last year, Lehtera will instead be offered a position on Finland's World Championship entry.

Out in the wild, wild West, teammates Tyler Shattock and Ian Schultz of the Calgary Hitmen combined for seven points in three games during the last week. Both of Shattock's goals, and one of Schultz's, were power-play scores, and Schultz also chipped in the game-winning goal -- with an assist from Shattock -- in a 4-1 road win over the Edmonton Oil Kings on Mar. 10.

The Hitmen play their last game of the regular season this afternoon vs. Red Deer, and will open the WHL playoffs on Mar. 18 as the top seed in the WHL's Eastern Conference, against either Moose Jaw or Swift Current.

Finally, a little farther west and a lot farther north, rookie enforcer Anthony Peluso got his name on the scoresheet by using his hands for more than battering rams this week. In three games for the Alaska Aces (ECHL), Peluso tallied a pair of goals (including one on the power play) and an assist for three points. Peluso's power-play score came in the second period of a 5-4 shootout loss at home vs. the Ontario (CA) Reign.
