Allen was pulled in the first period of Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers after allowing three goals on just five shots.

EDGE Analysis

Allen had gone two games without allowing a goal, so this kind of performance is very surprising, albeit against a tough Rangers team. The good thing is none of the goals were really Allen's fault, as the Blues committed plenty of mental mistakes, and coach Ken Hitchcock needed to get a response. It's safe to say Allen will fair better in his next start.
