Allen will be stationed between the pipes for Monday's Game 4 tilt with Vancouver, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was dominant in Sunday's Game 3 victory, stopping 39-of-41 shots to avoid falling in a 3-0 series hole. If he posts another strong outing to tie the series at 2-2, he may take the regular role from Jordan Binnington.

Allen made 39 saves on 41 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Allen got the nod over Jordan Binnington, who struggled for the first two games of the series. It worked out for the Blues, as Allen was able to help them earn the win in overtime to cut the Canucks' series lead to 2-1. Head coach Craig Berube will have an interesting choice to make regarding his goalie for Monday's Game 4.

Allen will patrol the blue paint for Sunday's contest against the Canucks, Thomas Drance of The Athletic Vancouver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen appeared in one round-robin contest, stopping 37-of-38 shots in a tough-luck overtime loss. With a back-to-back scheduled for Sunday and Monday, Jordan Binnington should be expected back in the starting lineup for the second leg.

Allen yielded one goal on 38 shots in Sunday's 2-1 round-robin shootout loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Allen came within a minute of a shutout before Joe Pavelski scored while the Stars had an extra attacker. In the shootout, Allen allowed the lone tally to Denis Gurianov to take the loss in his lone round-robin appearance. The Blues will be the fourth seed in the Western Conference, and they'll face the Vancouver Canucks. It's expected Jordan Binnington will handle virtually all of the Blues' goaltending duties during the playoffs.

Allen will guard the cage during Sunday's round-robin finale against Dallas, Alex Ferrario of 101 ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was pretty solid during the regular season, posting a 13-7-3 record while registering a 2.56 GAA and .912 save percentage in 50 appearances. Sunday's contest could represent his only start of this postseason, as Jordan Binnington looked fantastic during St. Louis' round-robin opener against the Avalanche on Sunday and, barring an injury, will almost certainly be the only goaltender the Blues turn to after round-robin play wraps up.

Allen allowed one goal on 27 shots in a 4-2 win over the Ducks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The game was rescheduled from Feb. 11, when Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester suffered a cardiac episode. Allen did a solid job in the contest, posting his fourth straight win. The 29-year-old goalie improved to 12-6-3 with a 2.15 GAA and a .927 save percentage in 24 appearances. He continues to do well in a limited role behind regular starter Jordan Binnington.

Allen is slated to take on the Ducks in Anaheim on Wednesday, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen posted a stellar shutout effort against the Blackhawks in his last outing Sunday, opening the door for a return to the crease following the back end of a back-to-back set Monday. He'll indeed get that opportunity in Anaheim and could carve out a slightly larger role down the stretch if he continues to perform well when given the opportunity. Even if that's the case, Jordan Binnington has played well enough to get plenty of looks in net as well.

Allen stopped all 29 shots during Sunday's 2-0 win in Chicago, giving the Blues' netminder his second shutout of the season.
EDGE Analysis
Since losing three straight, Allen has reeled off three straight victories and is 11-6-3 with a 2.20 GAA and .925 save percentage across 23 appearances this season. Playing behind Jordan Binnington, Allen is unlikely to see many opportunities down the stretch. He's a good handcuff for Binnington, but that's about it.

Allen will be stationed between the pipes for Sunday's contest in Chicago, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has won each of his last two starts, allowing four goals on a combined 50 shots. The 29-year-old netminder is currently sporting career bests in GAA (2.31) and save percentage (.922). In his only start against the Blackhawks this season, Allen dominated in a Dec. 2 win, stopping all 38 shots he faced.

Allen allowed three goals on 31 shots during Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues' netminder, for the first time since December, has won back-to-back starts with both wins coming against the Stars. While his play has improved noticeably, Allen's fantasy value is minimal because of how dominant Jordan Binnington has been in 2019-20.
