Allen blew a 3-0 lead and ultimately gave up five goals on 28 shots before being pulled from Tuesday's loss to Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Well, that was ugly. The Blues built him a three-goal edge early in the second period, but Allen gave up two goals in the following five minutes, then saw the game get totally out of hand in the final frame. He's been uncharacteristically blowup-prone this year, with six outings of four-plus goals in 24 games; Allen only had nine such appearances in 47 contests last year. The result has been substandard rate stats, particularly his .907 save percentage -- a surprise while playing behind a St. Louis defense that has a stingy reputation.
