Allen will start in goal Wednesday, facing the Avalanche on the road, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen stumbled into the New Year with Saturday's loss to the Maple Leafs for which he allowed three goals on 32 shots. Now, he'll try to stop pucks from an Avs team that is 6-2-2 over their last 10 games.

Allen made 29 saves in a 4-1 loss to Toronto on Saturday night. He allowed three goals.

EDGE Analysis

That marks his second-straight loss, but those losses were preceded by a 5-1 run. Allen's ascension to the top of the NHL's goaltending group is in process -- this is only the third time all season that he's lost two in a row. Use with confidence.

Allen will tend to the goal Saturday night against the Maple Leafs, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen ended up making 29 starts in the first half of the season, clearly separating himself from fellow goalie Brian Elliott due to his tendency to stand on his head while protecting the net. Allen owns a 2.08 GAA and .927 save percentage this season compared to 2.40/.927 rates from Elliott.

Allen turned aside 26 of 28 shots but took a loss to the Wild in the New Year's Eve start Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen played well despite coming out on the losing end of the match. The goal he gave up to Nino Niederreiter happened on a rebound, and Erik Haula threaded the puck into the net at a difficult angle for the other score. Allen still has twice as many wins (18) as losses (9) this season and finishes 2015 with a 2.08 GAA and .927, which has him ranked eighth or better in each category.

Allen will be in the crease as Thursday's home starter versus the Wild, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has already seen the Wild twice this season, having crafted a 1-1-0 record, 2.44 GAA and .900 save percentage against them.

Allen returned 30 of 33 shots Tuesday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Allen cruised through the first two stanzas, only to let third-period goals from Shea Weber and Colin Wilson to send the game into overtime. He would eventually get bailed out by Alexander Steen. Allen needs just one more win to reach 50 victories in his career -- that's quite a lofty total for a netminder that is only 25 years old and has appeared in just 81 career regular-season contests.

Allen will defend the crease in Tuesday's matchup with Nashville, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has played like a bonafide number one goaltender this season, posting a 2.05 GAA and a .927 save percentage to go along with a 17-8-2 record. Tuesday's tilt should be a tight-checking affair, with both teams placing in the top-half of the league in goals against. Allen and the Blues would thrive in a game of this nature, as they play with a disciplined defensive structure.

Allen stopped 22 of 22 shots in Saturday's win over Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

An odd night for Allen, who couldn't seem to shut the door in the shootout, getting beaten four times on nine shots. Luckily, the 25-year-old still emerged victorious, advancing his record to 17-8-2 on the season. Brian Elliott will get the call Sunday in Dallas, but Allen continues to impress and has suffered just one loss in his last five games. With an impressive .927 save percentage on the year, Allen is dynamite in fantasy whenever he gets the nod.

Allen will start in net Saturday night against the Stars, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Last Tuesday was Allen's most recent start, and he slammed the door on the Bruins for his fifth shutout of the season in that one. You can start Allen with confidence these days, but fantasy owners lucky enough to be stacked at the goalie position might consider alternatives against a potent Stars offense that currently leads the league with 3.51 goals scored per game, on average.

Allen notched his fifth shutout of the year Tuesday, turning aside all 32 of the Bruins' shots in a 2-0 win.

EDGE Analysis

That makes five wins in Allen's last seven starts, and he's got two shutouts in that span. Coach Ken Hitchcock wasted no time turning back to Allen even after he allowed four goals in Monday night's loss to the Flyers, so expect him between the pipes when the Blues get back in action Saturday after the NHL's brief holiday break.
