Allen will start in goal Saturday night against the visiting Wild, per Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will be chasing his fifth consecutive win and 10th of the season. He's been putting up numbers -- 2.33 GAA, .914 save mark -- similar to those he had when Brian Elliott was around last season, but the workload has predictably been heavier as he's on pace to appear in 62 games -- if he's able to endure such a heavy workload by avoiding the injury bug, Allen will crush his previous career highs of 44 starts and 47 games, which were also set in 2015-16.
