Allen allowed four goals on 33 shots in the Blues’ win in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. It wasn’t the greatest outing but it was enough to walk away with the win in the season opener. Tonight he will make his second start of the season and it comes against what should be a strong Stars offence, that was shut down by Marc-Andre Fleury last night.
After taking over as the Blues’ No.1 last season, Allen stumbled through the first four months of the season. However, the 27-year-old finished strong down the stretch, ranking third in the NHL in wins (16), GAA (1.93) and SV% (.935) from February on. Allen was also strong in the playoffs and will look to pickup where he left-off tonight in Pittsburgh.
