Allen stopped only 12 of 16 shots before getting replaced by Jordan Binnington at the end of the first period during Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second time in his last four starts that Allen hasn't made it to the second period. The 28-year-old has seen his save percentage sink to .897 as a result, but with Chad Johnson now in Anaheim and only an unproven rookie behind him on the depth chart, the Blues will likely give Allen every chance to work through his troubles.

Allen will face the Flames on Sunday afternoon, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has been pretty mediocre this season with a 10-8-1 record and 3.01 GAA. However, he's got a pretty tight grip on the Blues' No. 1 goalie job after Chad Johnson was waived. Allen has won two straight starts, but it's still hard to trust him for fantasy purposes.

Allen kicked back 39 shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime home win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
This was a seesaw battle throughout, with the game featuring four lead changes -- including the overtime dagger from faceoff wizard Ryan O'Reilly. Allen has been wildly inconsistent this season, but this latest triumph was huge for No. 34. He's now up to double-digit wins and his save percentage has climbed to .901 -- St. Louis waived Chad Johnson on Monday (now with Anaheim) and promoted Jordan Binnington from AHL San Antonio, but such movement merely decides who deserves to play second fiddle to Allen most nights.

Allen will start in the home goal for Friday's game versus the Avalanche, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen will make his fifth straight start, as he posted a 2-1-1 record and .914 save percentage in the previous four outings. He was superb in his last game against the Avs, steering away 27 of 29 shots and winning in overtime. That shows Allen's upside, but he still carries plenty of risk since Colorado ranks third in the league with 3.61 goals per game.

Allen will guard the home goal Tuesday against the Panthers, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was yanked from the net during the first period of his last start Sunday against the Canucks, but he will get back on the horse Tuesday. Through 12 home appearances this season, Allen has posted just a 3.86 GAA and an .879 save percentage to go along with a 4-4-2 record. He will take on a Panthers club that has dropped three of its last four games, though the squad scored 15 goals in those four contests and only one of the losses came in regulation.

Allen allowed three goals on six shots from the Cancuks in Sunday's 6-1 home loss. He was replaced by Chad Johnson after 14:06 between the pipes.
EDGE Analysis
Allen worked a 1-0 shutout over the Jets on Friday, but the Canucks chased him from the net early in this one. The first two goals that he permitted were rather fluky, as Brock Boeser's shot went up off the glass and off Allen's back, and then allied skater Jay Bouwmeester deflected an Elias Pettersson shot into his own goal. Allen's third goal was simply the result of a nice breakaway chance involving Pettersson and Boeser with 5:55 remaining in the first frame. Allen's record now stands at 8-8-4 to go along with a 3.11 GAA and .900 save percentage through 22 games. Those numbers aren't all that great, but in fairness, scoring is up across the board this year.

Allen will start in the home crease Sunday versus the Canucks, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen is coming off his first shutout of the season -- a 26-save effort against the Jets. He draws a favorable matchup against the Canucks, who rank 22nd in the league at 2.84 goals per game. Even if Allen shows another stellar outing, he may still mark a loss if the Blues can't turn around their offensive woes after scoring just four goals in the last three games.

Allen will be between the pipes on the road against the Jets on Friday, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his previous three clashes with Winnipeg this season, Allen is 0-1-1 with a disastrous 4.92 GAA and .833 save percentage. Given his recent history, it's a little surprising the club doesn't want to give Chad Johnson a shot at grounding the Jets.

Allen stopped 34 of 36 shots in regulation and overtime but got beaten twice in two attempts during the shootout in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues jumped out to a 2-0 lead midway through the first period, but Allen couldn't make it hold up and then had to face Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Connor McDavid in the first two rounds of the shootout. The 28-year-old is still enjoying a solid stretch, allowing two goals or less in seven of his last nine outings, but his .927 save percentage in those games isn't reflected in his 3-4-1 record.

Allen will guard the goal in Wednesday's home game against the Oilers, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was pretty sharp in his last start, stopping 27 of 29 shots en route to a 3-2 win over the Avalanche on Friday. The 28-year-old netminder will look to stay sharp and pick up his eighth victory of the season in a home matchup with an Oilers team that's only averaging 2.40 goals per game on the road this campaign, 23rd in the NHL.
