Allen will start between the pipes in Wednesday's road matchup with Montreal, NHL.com's Sean Farrell reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was solid in his last start Saturday against Chicago, turning aside 46 of 50 shots, but he ultimately suffered his second overtime loss of the season. The 28-year-old netminder will look to stay dialed in and pick up his second victory of the campaign in a road matchup with a Canadiens club that's averaging 3.33 goals per game at home this season, 15th in the NHL.

Allen will patrol the crease Saturday night against host Chicago, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blues have a back-to-back set of games on tap, so they'll reportedly turn to Chad Johnson for Sunday's home game against the Ducks. Allen, who is the team's traditional starter, picked up his first win of the young season Thursday, setting aside 31 of 34 shots from the Flames in St. Louis. Oddly enough, his next challenger in the Blackhawks have gone to overtime in each of their first four games to start the season. Patrick Kane and Co. won two of those, despite the Original Six club allowing as many goals as it has scored (18).

Allen stopped 31 of 34 shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Allen struggled in his first two games of the season, allowing five goals in each contest and dropping both decisions. The skaters in front of him gave much more support this time around to help Allen secure his first win of the season. The hope is the offensive play keeps up to help build Allen's confidence after a shaky 2017-18 campaign.

Allen will guard the cage in Thursday's home matchup with the Flames, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has struggled early on this season, surrendering five goals in back-to-back losses to the Jets and Blackhawks. The 28-year-old netminder will look to right the ship in a home matchup with a Calgary club that has racked up 12 goals through its first three games of the campaign.

Allen allowed five goals on 30 shots in the 5-4 overtime loss to Chicago on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen is getting roughed up to start the 2018-19 campaign, allowing 10 goals on 55 shots in his first two contests. His team gave him a 2-0 lead late in the first period but he wasn't able to hold on. The 28-year-old netminder has Chad Johnson waiting for a shot behind him and could be on a short leash after these first two games.

Allen will patrol the crease Saturday in a home game against the Blackhawks, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen saw the puck travel past him five times in Thursday's season opener, leading to a 5-1 home loss to the Jets. That wasn't all that busy of a night for the Blues' chief backstop, so he'll need to adjust on the fly and ideally get more help from his allied defensemen in this next contest against Chicago.

Allen will be between the pipes against the Jets on Thursday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will be looking to get back over the 30-win threshold this season after getting just 27 in 2017-18. The netminder will face a tough first test versus a Winnipeg squad that racked up 3.33 goals per game last season and returns with its core still intact.

Allen turned aside all six shots faced during Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Allen gave way to backup Chad Johnson after the first period, but looked solid in the final tuneup before the regular season. The 28-year-old netminder has a pivotal campaign ahead but at least seems to have put the back issues that sidelined him early in camp to rest. Likely to open the season as the Blues starter, the second-round pick from the 2008 NHL Entry Draft could have a solid season if he can stay healthy and productive.

Allen will get the start in goal in Friday's home preseason game against Dallas and Sunday's road exhibition matchup with the Capitals, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will go the distance in Friday's contest, but he may only play a portion of Sunday's finale. With Carter Hutton no longer in the fold, it wouldn't be surprising to see Allen eclipse his career high of 61 starts this campaign.

Allen allowed two goals on 21 shots during Tuesday's 4-0 preseason loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the loss, Allen performed well through two periods, as both goals were due to his defensemen failing to clear the puck from in front of him. The Blues picked up tons of talent over the summer, and the final piece of the puzzle would be Allen maintaining his peak performance. The 28-year-old backstop will likely get more work with two preseason games left on the docket.
