Allen, who was activated off injured reserve Sunday, will be evaluated in practice Tuesday and could start in one of the back-to-back games this weekend in Nashville or Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Allen sustained a lower-body injury Jan. 8 and missed 17 games while on rehab. In that time, Brian Elliott took control of the job, surging to the top of the NHL in goals-against average (2.06) and save percentage (.931). Allen had been the clear number one goalie prior to his injury, but Elliott has made the case to be an equal partner at the very least.

EDGE Analysis

Out since Jan. 8, Allen's return will bolster the Blues' netminding crew, while finally giving the team a chance to rest Brian Elliott (started every game in Allen's absence). Given that Elliott currently rides a five-game winning streak and allowed just three total goals between the Kings, Stars and Lightning (three top-tier offenses), Allen will likely return to a backup role. However, he should see more time in net than the netminders who replaced him. The club sent goalie Jordan Binnington back to the AHL in a corresponding move Sunday.

Allen (knee) joined his teammates at the tail end of Thursday's practice, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. "It's going well. Just trying to get on the ice and get some agility back. I'm feeling on the upward swing, so we'll see where it goes from here. But it's good to get on the ice and get some shots again," said Allen.

EDGE Analysis

This is another positive sign in Allen's recovery from a knee injury suffered Jan. 8 in Anaheim, but a timetable remains elusive. In Allen's absence, the Blues have relied heavily in Brian Elliot, who is expected to start Friday night against Florida.

Allen (knee) skated in full gear during Friday's practice, the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen skated the previous two days, but that was on his own. Friday was the first time he was on the ice while teammates were practicing. There's still no timetable for his return, but skating with teammates is typically a sign of progress.

Allen (knee) skated for a second straight day Thursday, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has been tagged with a week-to-week timetable since early January because of the knee issue, but it appears he's beginning to make some progress in his recovery. There's still likely a little ways to go, so expect the team to continue to provide updates as he begins closing in on a return.

Allen (lower body) will be out on a week-to-week basis, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

A tough blow for Allen and his fantasy owners, as the 25-year old has emerged as a true number-one goaltender this season. Brian Elliott will take the majority of starts in Allen's absence, and has performed fairly well in his 17 games played this season (2.33 GAA, .919 save percentage). Expect updates on Allen's status to be given periodically moving forward.

Allen (upper body) is not listed on the Blues' official roster, which means he's been placed on injured reserve, reports Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post Dispatch.

EDGE Analysis

Allen suffered the injury during Friday night's game against the Ducks. Brian Elliot, who's starting Saturday against the Kings, will get steady starts with Allen sidelined.

Allen (upper body) is out Saturday against the Kings, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen exited Friday's game against the Ducks with an upper-body injury, and will not be available for Saturday's matchup with LA as a result. The Blues will re-evaluate Allen in St. Louis on Monday, at which point the team should provide an update on the 25-year-old netminder's status.

Allen was removed from Friday's game against the Ducks due to an undisclosed injury.

EDGE Analysis

It's not immediately clear what type of setback Allen is dealing with, but he was taken out of Friday's game, and replaced by Brian Elliott. Expect an update on Allen's status as more details become available.

Allen will be in between the pipes Friday against Anaheim, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Allen's stat line for the entire season is impressive (18-10-3, 2.17 GAA, .924 save percentage), his play has faltered in his last four games. In this span, Allen is 1-2-1 with a 2.94 GAA and .905 save percentage. Anaheim is the perfect team for Allen to get back on track against though, as they sit last in the league with 1.85 goals per game.
