Allen turned aside all six shots he faced after replacing Jordan Binnington late in the second period during Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old remains behind Jordan Binnington on the St. Louis depth chart, but Allen has been the better goalie statistically lately, posting a 1.82 GAA and .938 save percentage in 10 appearances since the beginning of December. Binnington will get the All-Star break to regroup and doesn't appear to be in danger of losing his starting gig, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Allen get more work in the second half.

Allen made 20 saves on 21 shots in a 4-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Allen rebounded from a poor outing against the Golden Knights on Jan. 4 with a strong one Monday in taking down the Ducks. The 29-year-old improved to 8-3-3 with a 2.27 GAA and a .926 save percentage in 16 appearances. The Blues don't play a back-to-back again until Jan. 27-28 in Vancouver and Calgary, so Allen will likely get his next start in one of those two games.
