The St. Louis Blues have come to terms with goaltender Patrick Lalime, signing him to a one-year deal with an option for 2005-2006. Lalime, who was traded from Ottowa to St. Louis on draft day, will make $2.9 million in 2004-2005. Two seasons ago, Lalime’s star was on the rise when he was 39-20-7 with a 2.16 goals against average with the Senators and led them to within a game of the Stanley Cup Finals. But last season he was 25-23-7 with a 2.29 GAA.
