Allen was the goalie in Thursday's morning skate, suggesting he'll get the start for that night's game in Ottawa, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a sensible time to get Allen his first action of the season, as the Senators had the league's worst record in 2018-19 and have lost their first two games of the new campaign. In the big picture, Allen remains the clear backup to Jordan Binnington.

Allen will start in goal and play the entire game Tuesday against the Stars, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen wasn't great in his preseason debut Friday against Winnipeg, surrendering two goals on 18 shots. The 29-year-old will hope to fare better in a matchup with a Dallas club that's only averaged one goal per game through its first four preseason contests, good for worst in the NHL.

Allen will get the starting nod versus the Jets on Thursday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen saw action in just 46 games last season as he saw the starting gig taken over by Jordan Binnington. The veteran figures to start the year as the No. 2, which limits his fantasy value. Unless Binnington struggles to carry the workload, Allen will likely play in a mere 20-30 games in 2019-20.

Allen allowed a goal on four shots in relief of Jordan Binnington in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Bruins in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

EDGE Analysis

He hadn't played since April 3, instead serving as Binnington's backup for the entirety of the playoffs to this point. Allen was not tested much and failed to rise to the occasion in his 24:28 of a lost cause. With that said, it is plausible Allen could see more time if the Blues get desperate now that they trail the Bruins 2-1 in the Cup finals.

Allen stopped 35 of 38 shots in regulation and overtime, and two of three shootout attempts, in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old has started just two of the last eight games, and Allen missed a chance in this one to put the Blues in a virtual tie with the Preds and Jets for first place in the Central Division. St. Louis has two games remaining on their schedule, but look for Jordan Binnington to get the nod in both.

Allen will start in goal Wednesday against host Chicago, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen's fantasy value has been squashed by burgeoning netminder Jordan Binnington, though the former picked up a confidence-boosting 25-save win over the Devils last Saturday. He'll now field shots from a Blackhawks team has lost two straight games but ranks ninth in home scoring (3.31 goals per game).

Allen made 25 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over the Devils on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

It was Allen's first win since March 7; he is 1-1-2 since then with just nine goals allowed. The Blues are Jordan Binnington's team now and that seems to fit Allen's game just fine. He just doesn't seem to be able to carry the weight of starting in the NHL.

Allen will patrol the road crease for Saturday's game against the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will draw his fifth start in the month of March, and is 1-2-2 to go along with a 2.17 GAA and .920 save percentage in that span. The 28-year-old will draw a nice matchup against an offense that ranks 26th in the league in goals per game this season (2.67). Allen is 6-0-0 to go along with a .952 save percentage and 1.17 GAA in six career starts against New Jersey.

Allen stopped 31 of 34 shots in regulation and overtime, but only one of three shootout attempts, in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old has been playing well since working his way back into a timeshare with Jordan Binnington, posting a 2.13 GAA and .925 save percentage over his last six starts, but his 1-2-3 record over that stretch reflects the Blues' erratic play in front of him. As long as Allen keeps giving the team a chance at points in the standings, he should continue to see regular work down the stretch.

Allen will patrol the crease Sunday in Buffalo, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite a 1-2-1 record in March, Allen has posted a strong 2.01 GAA and .923 save percentage in four appearances this month. The longtime St. Louis netminder has been relegated to a backup role with the emergence of star rookie Jordan Binnington, but he remains a reliable fantasy option when he gets the chance.
