Allen will start in goal Saturday afternoon, fielding pucks from host Detroit, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

There's speculation that Allen could appear in back-to-back games Saturday and Sunday with his understudy Carter Hutton hampered by a lower-body injury and on injured reserve. Allen's upcoming start will take place against a Red Wings team that only ranks 24th in scoring, despite owning the seventh-ranked power play.
