Allen will man the net for the Blues on Thursday against the Sabres, Joe Yerdon of NHL.com reports. The Sabres might have ended their 14-game losing streak with a stunning upset of the Canadiens earlier this week, but they're still a vulnerable team most every night. That's especially true against a juggernaut like the Blues, who probably won't even need a strong outing from Allen to come away with the victory. That being said, Allen shouldn't have much difficulty suppressing the Sabres attack, which has supplied a league-worst 1.78 goals per game, a sizable drop from the 29th-ranked Hurricanes (2.12).
