Allen will be the starter for Game 6 on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The goaltender has been red hot during the playoffs, with a .937 save percentage and 1.94 GAA in 10 games. Given he has only allowed three or more goals three times, he is a great start for daily fantasy.

Allen saved 21 of 22 shots during Friday's Game 5 win over Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
After posting a mediocre .911 save percentage and 2-4 record through his past six playoff games, Allen turned in a gem Friday. The Blues have struggled to sustain offensive pressure and generate high-danger scoring chances throughout the postseason, so Allen will need to be at his best again in Game 6 for the Blues to force the series to a Game 7.

Allen will defend the goal for Friday's Game 5 against the Predators, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen is coming off of two straight losses in Nashville and will take to the net Friday with the Blues' season on the line. The 26-year-old won his last game Scottrade Center with a 26-save performance, but did not fair as well in the series-opener, allowing four goals on 32 shots for his worst performance of the playoffs thus far. St. Louis has scored just one goal in each of the last two contests, so if Allen can get some goal support, he and his team may just be able to stave off elimination a little bit longer.

Allen stopped 23 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 Game 4 loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Allen's toughest sequences came early in the third period, highlighted by a tremendous left pad save to rob James Neal on a rebound. He couldn't get to a Ryan Ellis rocket from the slot with 14:51 to play after being forced to leave his feet on a previous save, though, and that blemish coupled with a soft Neal tally later in the frame were enough to take the loss against a locked-in Pekka Rinne. Allen's pedestrian .904 save percentage in this series is a big reason why St. Louis is on the brink of elimination.

Allen will work between the pipes as the Game 4 road starter versus the Predators on Tuesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
So far, Allen hasn't given backup goalie Carter Hutton any reason to jump off the bench in these playoffs, but the former still has such little margin for error with his team down 2-1 in the series. Plus, Pekka Rinne, his counterpart, currently leads all playoff goalies with an outstanding .950 save percentage. The St. Louis skaters need to show dramatic improvement on the power play in order to change the narrative of this series; they've only converted on 9.1 percent of man-advantage chances. Allen's been a steady fantasy weapon, but he simply needs more help from his mates.

Allen allowed three goals on 34 shots in a 3-1 loss to the Predators during Game 3 of the second round Sunday. Nashville leads the series 2-1.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues goaltender didn't play poorly, but he was definitely tested more than his counterpart in Game 3 and failed to lead St. Louis to victory. The Blues mustered up just 13 shots in the final two periods. Allen turned aside 17 of 18 in the second stanza, but St. Louis still trailed by one. Disappointingly, Allen let in a third goal late in the third. Despite the loss, he still owns a .938 save percentage this postseason and will be counted upon to even up the series Tuesday.

Allen will be in the crease for Game 3 against Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has been stellar in the playoffs, notching a .941 save percentage and 1.89 GAA in seven games so far. However, he's allowed six goals in the first two games against Nashville, who has scored the second most goals per game in the playoffs, with 3.17 per game.

Allen turned away 22 of 24 shots Friday, en route to a Game 2 win over the Predators at home.
EDGE Analysis
Allen and the Blues were down 2-1 in the third period before Jori Lehtera and Vladimir Tarasenko scored a pair of goals for the Notes in succession to end the game. The final score being so close comes as a bit of a surprise, as Nashville allowed St. Louis to go on the man advantage five times. It's always recommended to check for official confirmations, but we see no reason why Allen won't be back for more in Game 3 on the road Sunday.

Allen will guard the goal for Friday's Game 2 meeting with Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Allen seemed unstoppable during his first-round matchup with Minnesota, as he posted a 1.47 GAA and .956 save percentage. The same can't be said for the netminder's performance in Game 1 as he allowed four pucks to find the back of the net on 32 shots. The Preds offense is averaging 3.40 goals per outing, so look for them to test the 26-year-old early and often.

Allen saved 28 of 32 shots during Wednesday's Game 1 loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
After beginning the playoffs with three consecutive wins and a .974 save percentage, Allen has now lost two of his past three games with a .907 save percentage and 2.90 GAA. Nashville is averaging 3.4 goals per game in the playoffs and project to continue making life difficult for the Blues and Allen.
