Robertsson scored on a nice drive to the net after a pass from Juraj Pekarcik to tie the game 3-3 late in the third period, and Blues coach Drew Bannister has liked the skill and sandpaper balance of the winger.

Robertsson snuck a shot through Blackhawks goaltender Drew Commesso during an overtime rush, then crashed the net to deposit the puck into the goal.

The goal scored by St. Louis Blues prospect Simon Robertsson scored on Friday in the Tom Kurvers Prospect Showcase was a microcosm of just how far -- and quick -- the 21-year-old has risen up the organizational depth chart.

The St. Louis Blues made some moves this offseason to add to their roster. St. Louis missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2024. And they fired head coach Craig Berube midseason after a poor start to the season.

Simon Robertsson made a simple play, really. Take a shot. Follow the rebound. Shovel it in the net. But Robertsson’s second effort on his overtime goal in a 4-3 Blues win over the Blackhawks in a matchup of prospects on Friday night caught the attention of coach Steve Konowalchuk.
