Allen will start in goal Wednesday against the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

With fellow netminder Brian Eliott (lower body) still sidelined, the Blues continue to roll with Allen between the pipes, and he's responded with some nice efforts of late (three straight victories). He will draw another tough matchup Wednesday with the Blackhawks, but his home splits are outstanding (1.99 GAA, .924 save percentage), giving him (and the Blues) a chance to win in St. Louis on any given night, regardless of the opponent.
