Allen will look to protect the net as Sunday's road starter against the Avalanche, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blues excel on special teams, ranking fourth on the man advantage and third on the penalty kill. There's no doubt this has contributed positively to Allen's respectable peripheral stats which include a 2.36 GAA and .919 save percentage. But if this game happens to go into a shootout, he'll have to watch out, as the Avs are undefeated in such a scenario.
