Allen played very well in his 4 starts while Halak was out with an injury. He went 3-1-0 with a 2.62 GAA and .895 SV%. He will return to the AHL where he was 12-16-2 with a 2.94 GAA and .903 SV% before his call-up.
Allen has won 3 straight and will get another start tonight after his recent success. With Jaroslav Halak just getting back from injury and Brian Elliott struggling this season the Blues will continue to ride the young goalies hot streak. Allen's 2.77 GAA and .888 SV% aren't great but to St. Louis the three straight wins is all that matters.
With Halak's return still up in the air, Allen will look to continue his superb play on the road against a tough Canucks team.
With Halak out with an injury and Elliott on a major slump Allen will get his second straight start tonight vs. the Flames. Allen didn't see a lot of shots in his first start, stopping 15 of 18 shots he faced against Detroit and recording the OT win. He has a pretty good match-up tonight against Calgary and could be worth a spot start; if you trust the young netminder.

With Jaroslav Halak out with an injury and Brian Elliott on a 5 game losing-streak it is Jake Allen that gets the nod tonight vs. the Red Wings. Allen is 12-16-2 with a 2.94 GAA and .903 SV% in the AHL this season.

The recalling of Allen shows that Halak's setback that he suffered in yesterday's warmups is significant enough that he is going to miss more time. Allen could be in line for a start as Brian Elliott has struggled while Halak's been on the shelf, leading to a 5-game losing streak for the Blues.
Allen was brought up to serve as Brian Elliott's backup while Halak is out with a groin injury. He has no fantasy value.
Allen is not expected to participate in any games.
