St. Louis Game Time PROSPECT SUNDAYS
Only hard-nosed winger Chris Porter kept this week from being a shutout for the Blues' forward prospects in Peoria.
The Thunder Bay, ON native tallied in a 4-2 loss at Rockford on Jan. 29, but that was the only goal scored by a prospect forward for the Rivermen this week. The bigger names in Peoria -- Lars Eller, Pascal Pelletier, Brett Sonne, and Yan Stastny -- were held to three assists between them this week, and a lower body injury suffered on Jan. 8 against Toronto kept sparkplug Aaron Palushaj out of the lineup for both Rivermen games in the last seven days.
The junior-age forward prospects fared better this week, as legacy player Philip McRae seems to be finding his stride with his new OHL cub in Plymouth, while Tyler Shattock tallied a pair of goals -- his first with the Calgary Hitmen -- out in the wild, wild weest.
Across the pond, Jori Lehtera continues to lead the Finnish Elite League (SM-Liiga) in scoring at the tender age of 21, and 2008 draft pick Sergei Andronov is quietly putting together a solid year in the KHL.
