Allen made 30 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Allen started consecutive games for the first time since Jan. 3 and 5. He played very well, but he just couldn't track a give-and-go with Logan Couture and Kevin Labanc in OT. Allen has played better of late, but it hasn't been enough to salvage the stink of his fantasy season.

Allen will start in the crease Saturday against the Sharks in San Jose, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rookie Jordan Binnington has taken the lead role in the crease for the Blues, but Allen got an opportunity in the second half of a back-to-back set Thursday against the Kings and proceeded to post his second shutout in his last four starts. As a result, he's been rewarded with another look between the pipes. Allen will need to be on top of his game to take home another victory Saturday against a Sharks club that averages 3.75 goals per game at home.

Allen made 28 saves to shut out the Kings in Thursday's 4-0 win.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has lost the starting job to rookie phenom Jordan Binnington, but he's chipping away at Binnington's role with three wins in his past five starts, including two via shutout. If Binnington's seven goals allowed in his last two outings cascade into an extended cold spell, Allen could be fantasy gold down the stretch for the surging Blues. That's a big if, though.

Allen will guard the goal in Thursday's road matchup with the Kings, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen struggled in his last start Friday against Carolina, allowing four goals on 23 shots en route to his 21st loss of the campaign. The 28-year-old netminder will look to shake off that poor performance and snap his two-game losing streak in a favorable home matchup with a struggling LA team that's gone 1-6-3 in its last 10 contests.

Allen stopped only 19 of 23 shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
The first 30 minutes were close, but after Sebastian Aho scored shorthanded, the Blues didn't have an answer. Allen's record dropped to 17-16-5 with a 2.98 GAA and a .901 save percentage. With the emergence of Jordan Binnington, February's rookie of the month, Allen has been relegated to a backup role, and performances like this won't earn him much trust.

Allen will guard the cage in Friday's road game against the Hurricanes, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was sharp in his last start Sunday against Minnesota, stopping 33 of 35 shots, but he ultimately suffered his 20th loss of the campaign due to a lack of goal support from his teammates. The 28-year-old netminder will look to stay dialed in and secure his 18th win of the season in a tough road matchup with a hot Carolina club that's gone 8-2-0 in its last 10 games.

Allen made 33 saves in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Allen made some stellar saves Sunday but was unable to come away with the win for his efforts. Since moving to a backup role, Allen has played much better, although the Blues' netminder surely would want to have Ryan Donato's game-winning goal back. The non-regulation defeat will move Allen's record to 17-15-5 with a 2.95 GAA and .902 save percentage.
