Allen will defend the net Tuesday against the Jets, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen finished the first half of 2016-17 with a decent 17-12-3 record, but his 2.83 GAA and .897 save percentage are much less impressive than his marks last season. Carter Hutton has eaten into his playing time a bit as a result, but Allen will get the first crack at things in the second half against a Jets club that lost two of its last three games heading into the All-Star break.
