Allen saved six of seven shots in the third period of Friday's 4-1 loss to Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

After Carter Hutton allowed three goals through the first 40 minutes of the game, Allen entered in relief. St. Louis travels to Minnesota for a 6 p.m. ET game Saturday to complete a back-to-back set, and Allen will likely draw the start. It could prove to be a difficult schedule spot for the Blues and their No. 1 netminder, so it's not out of the question to consider alternative options if the luxury exists.
