Allen was named the starting home goalie for Thursday's game against the Lightning, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen is rolling with six consecutive wins and a tidy 1.95 GAA over that span. He capped off a strong November with a performance that included saving 18-of-21 shots from the Stars, and while that wasn't necessarily a strong effort, no one will be denying how hot the Blues have been -- the Notes have churned out 25 goals to the tune of six wins over the last seven games. Allen will do his best to stave off a Lightning team averaging 2.92 goals per contest this season, good for the seventh-best rate in the league.

Allen saved 18 of 21 shots during Monday's overtime win against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Dallas was opportunistic against Allen, and his save percentage and GAA took a slight hit in the outing, but he left with the win against an admirable offense. Allen is now 10-3-3 for the year, and he checks out as a fringe No. 1 goalie for your virtual club. Look for him to slowly improve his current .911 save percentage, too.

Allen will tend the twine for Monday night's showdown with the Stars, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has strung together five consecutive wins after a terrible outing on Nov. 12 when he allowed four goals before being pulled against the Blue Jackets. On Monday, he faces a strong Dallas offense that is finally starting to get healthy and is averaging 2.59 goals per game.

Allen allowed three goals on 31 shots Saturday against the Wild but hung on for a 4-3 shootout win.
EDGE Analysis
Allen stood tall in OT and the shootout after the Wild tied the game 3-3 with 1:08 remaining in regulation. After a rough start to the season with just four wins in his first 11 starts, Allen appears to have rounded into form with five consecutive wins. He should be in your fantasy lineup at every opportunity.

Allen will start in goal Saturday night against the visiting Wild, per Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
EDGE Analysis
Allen will be chasing his fifth consecutive win and 10th of the season. He's been putting up numbers -- 2.33 GAA, .914 save mark -- similar to those he had when Brian Elliott was around last season, but the workload has predictably been heavier as he's on pace to appear in 62 games -- if he's able to endure such a heavy workload by avoiding the injury bug, Allen will crush his previous career highs of 44 starts and 47 games, which were also set in 2015-16.

Allen held the Bruins to two goals on 41 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 victory.
EDGE Analysis
He gave up the game's first goal less than eight minutes in, then let the Bruins retake the lead in the second period, but Allen clamped down thereafter, including posting a spectacular 17-save third frame to secure the win. He's now come away victorious in four straight, giving up only six goals on 127 shots (a .953 save mark) in that span. Some rough outings early on hurt his save percentage, but this stretch has improved it to .914, so Allen and the Blues are clearly trending in the right direction.

Allen will be the starting goaltender for Tuesday's game against Boston, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old has had some rough patches this season, but he's been hot in his last three games, with a 1.33 goals against average and .953 save percentage. The Bruins are in the top three for shots on goal per game, but rank 22nd in goals per game, so Allen will face an inconsistent, but high volume, offense in Tuesday's contest.

Allen turned away 30 of 31 shots in a 3-1 home win over the Predators on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Allen would have been perfect had it not been for a power-play marker by Mike Ribeiro in the second frame. The No. 1 goalie for the Notes moves to 8-3-3 on the season, despite his team ranking 20th in the league in goals per game (2.44).

Allen will guard the cage in Saturday's home game against the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has been sharp recently, posting a 2-0-0 record with an impressive 1.50 GAA and .945 save percentage over his last two appearances. The 26-year-old backstop will look to pick up his eighth win of the season in a difficult home matchup with a hot Predators team that has won four of their last five games.

Allen stopped 29 of 31 shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
That's two sharp winning performances in a row for Allen -- much-needed ones, too, on the heels of a rough five-game stretch to open November. His .904 save percentage is still well short of last year's .920 mark, but the 26-year-old is one of the NHL's more talented netminders; he should get his ratios back in order soon enough.
