Monday, November 22, 1999 Blues goaltender named player of the weekST. LOUIS (CP) -- Blues goalie Roman Turek credits a chat with his defencemen for his improved play.Turek was named NHL player of the week Monday after allowing only three goals in three games against top opponents last week. He won 3-2 at Toronto on Wednesday, then returned home to beat Florida 3-0 Thursday and hold San Jose to a 1-1 tie Saturday. "In Toronto, we had like three days there and spent a lot of time together," Turek told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He told his teammates he needed a clear sight line and that screens were not helping. "I say if I can see the shot from the blue line, I should stop it. If I don't, it's my fault." Turek is 8-5-2 on the season. He has a 2.16 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage.
