Niklas Lundstrom

Lundstrom, 21, is one of several up-and-coming goalies in the Blues’ system, but he’s probably still a few years away from competing at the NHL level. While he deserves some leeway for his youth, Lundstrom mostly struggled with AIK and Sodertalje SK of Swedish Hockey League last season, going 7-15-0 with a 2.94 GAA and .893 save percentage. He could attempt to make the leap to North America at some point with two years remaining on his entry-level contract with the Blues, but would probably need to prove himself at AHL Chicago before he receives a shot with the parent club.
