Allen stopped 28 of 30 shots in the Blues' 2-1 overtime loss to the Blackhawks on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen played well for a second straight game, posting a .993 save percentage and surviving three third-period minor penalties, but couldn't finish in overtime when Artemi Panarin scored 25 seconds into the extra stanza. Technically, it was a four-on-four goal, coming four seconds after Alex Pietrangelo was released from the box, but it was the direct result of being down a man down for the first 21 seconds. The Blues have made habit of penalties this season -- they rank second in the NHL with 66 minor penalties, 28 of them taken in the third period, through 14 games. St. Louis is third in the NHL, killing 91.2 percent while a man down, but all that penalty-kill time eventually catches up to a goalie. With the Blues traveling to Nashville for the second of a back-to-back set Thursday, we may see Carter Hutton between the pipes to face his former team.
