Allen made 33 saves on 36 shots Tuesday, but was bested by Carey Price in a 3-0 loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was simply starting the wrong game at the wrong time. Price brought the Blues' offense to a halt Tuesday, and while Allen turned in a strong performance, it was never going to be good enough. Allen has allowed three goals in each of his three starts this season and is close to falling into the title of permanent backup in St. Louis. His next start could come next Tuesday, in a dangerous matchup against the Lightning.
