St. Louis Blues Prospect Profile: Evan Fitzpatrick
The St. Louis Blues have made a habit of spending a draft pick almost every year on the position of goaltender. 2016 was no different with the selection of Evan Fitzpatrick.
The St. Louis Blues drafted Evan Fitzpatrick with the 59th overall pick in the second round of the 2016 NHL Draft. The Blues have drafted a netminder in each of the last three drafts and in five of the last six years.
While some have yet to make their names known among the NHL ranks, the Blues have actually been fairly decent at drafting goaltenders in recent history. At the very least, they’ve had more success than in the team’s past.
