Allen will be the starting goaltender Thursday night against the Ducks, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will look to make his case to earn more starts in this game as the timeshare between the posts with Brian Elliot continues. The two goalies have had very similar outputs to this point of the season so every game is likely to matter as they fight for playing time. Elliot enjoys an extremely favorable matchup in this game against the Ducks, who are not only in last place in the Western Conference, but also last in the entire league in average goals scored per game, as they've potted a meager nine goals through nine contests.
