EDGE Analysis

Allen has made 11 starts this season, yet there hasn't been a single contest for which he saw more than 28 shots. This tells us that the St. Louis defenders are getting the job done, while that hasn't always been the case for the 26-year-old backstop. Allen carries a 2.35 GAA and .907 save mark into the upcoming game.
