Allen will occupy the home crease against Dallas on Saturday, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan Binnington has made the last three starts, and now Allen will get a chance in a divisional clash. This will likely be the rotation as the season hits the home stretch, as Allen can be depended on -- he has a .923 save percentage and 2.29 GAA across 21 appearances. He also took down Dallas just over a week ago, steering away 18 of 19 shots in a 5-1 win.

Allen allowed one goal on 19 shots in a 5-1 victory over the Stars on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
He had only played four times over the last five weeks, but this was Allen's first win since Jan. 13, and just his second victory during the last two months. Although Allen has strong numbers this season, he hasn't made enough starts to have a major impact in fantasy circles. He is 9-6-3 with a 2.29 GAA and .923 save percentage in 21 games this season.

Allen will protect the road goal in Friday's game versus the Stars, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has lost his last three starts, allowing nine goals on 86 shots (an .895 save percentage) in that span. The Stars won't make things easy on him -- they're averaging 3.33 goals per game over their last six outings.

Allen will get the home start Saturday versus the Predators, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues have a home-and-home series against the Preds, so Jordan Binnington will likely get the nod Sunday. Allen's last start was postponed due to Jay Bouwmeester's (chest) injury. He's struggled in 2020 with a 1-2-1 record and .908 save percentage, but the Preds have had issues on the road lately as well, losing two of the last four and totaling nine goals in that stretch.

Tuesday's game that Allen had started between the Blues and Ducks has been postponed.
EDGE Analysis
Allen started and played until Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester collapsed on the bench during the first period. After the scary scene unfolded, both teams agreed to postpone the game until a later date.

Allen will patrol the crease during Tuesday's contest in Anaheim, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen will make his first start since Jan. 31, when he allowed three goals on 34 shots against Edmonton. This will be just the 20th appearance for the 29-year-old, but he owns a strong 2.26 GAA and .925 save percentage this season. A matchup against a stagnant Anaheim offense that scores the third-fewest goals per game should give Allen a good chance at his first win since Jan. 13.

Allen gave up three goals on 34 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Oilers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Leon Draisaitl scored twice and Caleb Jones added a tally to account for the damage against Allen in the loss. The 29-year-old goalie has won just one of his last five starts, allowing 13 goals in that span, which includes a pair of relief appearances. He's at 8-5-3 with a 2.26 GAA and a .925 save percentage in 19 games this season. Expect to see Jordan Binnington in goal in Winnipeg on Saturday.

Per Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Allen was the first netminder off the ice at morning skate, which suggests he'll guard the cage during Friday's road game versus the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was rock solid in his last start Monday against the Canucks, stopping 23 of 25 shots, but he ultimately suffered his seventh loss of the season due to a lack of goal support. The 29-year-old backstop will attempt to pick up his ninth victory of the campaign in a tough road matchup with a hot Edmonton team that's gone 5-1-1 in its last seven games.

Allen stopped 23 of 25 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Allen did alright in goal, but he allowed a pair of tallies by J.T. Miller, which was enough to stick him with the loss. The 29-year-old dipped to 8-4-3 with a 2.21 GAA and a .926 save percentage in 18 appearances. The Blues complete a back-to-back in Calgary on Tuesday -- expect Jordan Binnington to draw the start in that contest.

Allen was the first goalie off the ice during morning skate, indicating he'll start Monday's road game versus the Canucks, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan Binnington participated in the All-Star Game on Saturday, so he'll get some additional rest and likely be between the pipes Tuesday versus the Flames. Allen has been one of the most dependable backup goalies in the league this year, as he has posted a .927 save percentage and 2.22 GAA. The Canucks had a strong run before the break with wins in 11 of 14 games while averaging 3.6 goals per contest.
