Allen told reporters he's "ready to go" for Thursday's matchup with Vegas, but he has yet to be named the starter against the Golden Knights, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen exited Saturday's game against the Blackhawks due to an undisclosed issue, but his injury was never believed to be overly serious. If he isn't given the starting nod for Thursday's contest, he'll almost certainly be in goal for Saturday's matchup with Minnesota.

Allen (undisclosed) is feeling better after leaving Saturday's game against the Blackhawks, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blues' netminder left Saturday's game with an undisclosed injury after colliding with two players, one of whom happened to be his teammate. Allen, according to Korac, has spoken with backup Chad Johnson and is feeling better but there's still been no word on whether he'll wind up on the injury shelf as a result of Saturday's collision. If Allen does miss time, Johnson figures to see the majority of starts in St. Louis.

Allen suffered an undisclosed injury late in the second period of Saturday's game against the Blackhawks and was replaced by Chad Johnson.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was into by a teammate Zach Sanford and Chicago's Brandon Saad on a drive to the net. He stayed on the ice for a few moments before leaving.

Allen will start Saturday's game against the Blackhawks, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen imploded Thursday night, giving up four goals on 21 shots before getting pulled in the second period. The 28-year-old netminder has given up a league-worst 30 goals so far this season and is in danger of losing his claim to St. Louis' crease.

Allen will protect the home net versus Columbus on Thursday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has given up three or more goals in six of his seven outings this season and is currently sitting with a career-worst 3.64 GAA and .882 save percentage. Historically, the netminder has performed well against the Jackets, as he is 4-1-0 all time in seven clashes, which could be the spark he needs to turn his 2018-19 campaign around.

Allen allowed five goals on 36 shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

The Blues carried a 3-1 lead into the third period, but within four minutes the Jets tied it up off goals from Ben Chiarot and Mark Scheifele. David Perron quickly regained the lead for the Blues, but a loose puck dribbled into the crease late in the third period while the Jets had an extra attacker and Bryan Little smacked it home to send the game to overtime. Jacob Trouba put the nail on the coffin in the extra frame to make Allen's record at 2-2-3 on the season.

Allen stopped 18 of 21 shots in Mondays 4-3 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't Allen's best night, as he was scored on from below the goal line and once on a wrister from the blue line that he simply didn't see. However, it was good enough for the Blues' second straight win, and it's a big one against a division rival. After averaging 35 shots against in the first four games, Allen hasn't faced more than 23 shots in each of the last three.

Allen will tend the twine for Monday's road clash with Winnipeg, Scott Billeck of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen struggled out the gate with a 1-2-2 record and 3.91 GAA in his first five games of the season, but a 22-save victory over the Maple Leafs on Saturday could be the thing that changes the netminder's fortunes. Earning his first back-to-back wins of the season won't be easy for the New Brunswick native as he squares off with the Jets' star-studded lineup.

Allen turned aside 22-of-23 shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was just 1-2-2 before Saturday's contest, yielding at least three goals in each outing. Oddly enough, he turned in his best performance against arguably the league's best offense. It helped that he faced just eight shots in the first two periods. It was an encouraging start for the 28-year-old, but another tough matchup lies ahead in Winnipeg on Monday, where he will likely get the starting nod again.

Allen will start in goal Saturday evening against host Toronto, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will be challenged by the team with the league's best power play, so it's imperative that the Blues play a disciplined brand of hockey in front of him. The Blues' traditional starter is 1-2-2 with awful ratios (3.91 GAA and .877 save percentage) through five games, so it'll be worth your time to check out alternatives on Saturday's mega daily slate.
