Allen will be between the pipes Wednesday against the Red Wings, Dana Wakiji of the Red Wings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues' netminder is 6-6-3 on the year with a 3.27 GAA and .896 save percentage, though Allen has played much better in recent weeks. He'll face a Detroit team that has lost three straight and four of six overall.

Allen will start in goal Friday night against the visiting Predators, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Preds rank fifth in the NHL when it comes to high-danger goals for percentage (55.74), so Allen will need his allied defensemen to keep the puck away from the crease as much as possible. St. Louis' chief netminder owns a 5-6-3 record, 3.31 GAA and .896 save percentage through 15 appearances, so you're not likely to see him highly owned on the 15-game mega slate when it comes to DFS contests.

Allen will guard the cage in Wednesday's road game against the Predators, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has been razor sharp recently, maintaining an impressive 1.02 GAA and .962 save percentage through his last three appearances, but he's compiled a disappointing 1-2-0 record over that span due to a complete lack of goal support from his teammates. He'll look to stay dialed in and secure his sixth victory of the campaign in a tough road matchup with a Predators team that's 7-3-0 at home this season.

Allen stopped 25 of 26 shots in Monday's loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Since being benched in favor of Chad Johnson, Allen has been excellent in his last three starts. He's yielded just one goal in each outing and recorded a .962 save percentage in that span. The Blues' offense hasn't returned the favor, as it's been shut out in three of its last four game. It won't get any easier going forward, as the Blues play Nashville twice and the Jets once in their next three contests.

Allen will defend the cage versus Los Angeles on Monday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After getting benched for three games in early November, Allen has allowed just one goal in each of his previous two outings. The netminder clearly isn't going to give up the starting job to Chad Johnson easily, but will likely need to continuing to perform at his best in order to avoid splitting duties. Facing the league's worst offense in the Kings (2.00 goals per game) should provide the 28-year-old ample opportunity to secure his sixth win of the season.

Allen allowed one goal on 33 shots in a 4-1 victory against the Golden Knights on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a rough start to the season for Allen, but he's been superb in the last two games, stopping 50 of 52 shots (.962). Maybe that's a sign that he's coming out of his slump. Allen has typically played well during October in his career, but he is a better goaltender after the All-Star break, so despite the struggles right now, owners should stick by him. He should improve his .890 save percentage and 3.51 GAA as the season goes.

Allen will defend the road net in Friday's game versus the Golden Knights, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
After working in backup duties for three straight games, Allen returned to the crease Wednesday against Chicago and allowed just one goal on 19 shots but still recorded a loss. It was stellar individual production but just the second time in 12 games that Allen yielded less than three goals against. This could be a good chance to maintain his solid play, as only two teams score less goals per game than Vegas (2.53).

Allen will guard the cage in Wednesday's road game against the Blackhawks, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has struggled this season, compiling a 4-3-3 record while posting an ugly 3.99 GAA and .879 save percentage through 11 appearances. The 28-year-old netminder will look to start turning things around in a favorable road matchup with a struggling Blackhawks team that's lost eight consecutive games.

Allen will command the crease against the visiting Wild on Saturday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen's surrendered at least three goals in each of his last four starts, but he's emerged the victor in the most recent pair of home contests. He prevailed over the Blackhawks and Golden Knights, respectively, while proving that an undisclosed issue -- which had surfaced in the Chicago game -- was only a minor setback. Now, Allen will take on a Minnesota team that is 5-0-2 at home but only 2-3-0 away from Xcel Energy Center.

Allen will start Thursday's home matchup against Vegas, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was forced out of Saturday's matchup with Chicago as a result of an undisclosed issue, but won't miss any time and returns to the crease Thursday. Considering the netminder has registered a 3.99 GAA in nine outings this year, it's a little surprising the club didn't use this opportunity to take a look at backup Chad Johnson -- who has made just one start this season. Perhaps the Knights' struggling offense (2.17 per game) was part of the decision to stick with Allen in the hopes of getting him back on track.
