Blues' Jordan Schmaltz: Brought up to big club

Schmaltz was recalled from AHL Chicago on Thursday.

Analysis:

The 2012 first-round pick has already suited up for a playoff contest this season, a Game 1 win over Chicago in the first round. That being said, Schmaltz was likely recalled for the purpose of providing depth on the back end, though he could slot into the lineup in place of the offensively limited Robert Bortuzzo. If that happens to be the case, Schmaltz could be a cheap option with some potential upside in a fantasy setting.
