Allen allowed four goals on 33 shots in the Blues 4-1 loss to the Blackhawks on Wednesday. Martin Brodeur struggled in his Blues’ debut on Thursday night, so they will go back to Allen this afternoon vs. a red-hot Islanders team. Allen is 4-2-0 with a 2.14 GAA and .929 SV% on the road.
Allen stopped 36 of 38 shots in the Blues’ 3-2 shootout win over the Wild on Saturday. He has won three of his last four with a 2.78 GAA and .901 SV%. Tonight’s will be special for the 24-year-old, who will have future Hall of Famer Martin Brodeur as his backup. He draws a tough matchup, but catches a break with Antti Raanta getting the start for Chicago.
Allen stopped 13 of 16 shots in a win over the Oilers last night. It was not the prettiest outing but he got the job done. With Brian Elliott out it is no surprise to see Allen start the back-to-back. Tonight should be a little more difficult in Minnesota.
Allen stopped 15 of 17 shots in relief of the injured Brian Elliott in Tuesday’s shootout loss to the Senators. With Elliott out for at least a few weeks, the crease is all Allen’s for the foreseeable future. He has a 2.12 GAA and .920 SV% in nine games and is a must-start tonight vs. the struggling Oilers.
Allen allowed four goals on 30 shots in the Blues’ 4-1 loss to Montreal on Thursday. The loss snapped Allen’s four-game winning streak, but he should be for great spot-start this afternoon in Winnipeg. Allen is 2-1-0 with a 1.67 GAA and .938 SV% on the road.
Allen allowed four goals on 30 shots in the Blues’ 4-1 loss to Montreal on Thursday. The loss snapped Allen’s four-game winning streak, but he should be for great spot-start this afternoon in Winnipeg. Allen is 2-1-0 with a 1.67 GAA and .938 SV% on the road.
Dillon was acquired from the Stars on Friday and despite his equipment not making it to San Jose this morning, he is expected to play tonight vs. the Coyotes. Dillon’s defence partner will likely be fluid for a while until the coaches can decide where he fits best.
Dillon, 24, is a big-boy at 6-foot-3, 225 lbs. and bring some size and physicality to the Sharks blueline. Demers is a better puck-moving defenseman, but Dillon is two years younger and the Sharks have a number of young offensive blueliners in their system. Dillon will be a restricted free agent at the end of the season.
Hamilton missed practice on Wednesday, but is back on the ice this morning which is a good sign that he will be available on Friday.
Allen stopped 22 of 25 shots in a win over the Predators last Thursday. He has been great when called upon this season, winning five of six starts with a 1.67 GAA and .933 SV%. He is a must-start when he gets the nod, but draws a tough matchup against a Montreal team who hold the best record in the NHL.
Bjugstad now has 7 points in 15 games this season.
Allen gave up three goal on 27 shots in the Blues' 4-3 win over the Devils last Thursday. Allen has been nothing short of spectacular to start 2014-15---he is 4-1-0 with a 1.40 GAA and .944 SV%. Allen is as big of a goalie prospect as there is and deserves to be trusted at home vs. Nashville.
Allen stopped all 26 shots that he faced in the Blues 1-0 win over the Devils on Tuesday. He has stopped all 50 of the shots that he has faced in his last two starts and should make for a good start tonight as he takes on the Devils again, this time in St. Louis.
Allen stopped all 26 shots that he faced in the Blues 1-0 win over the Devils last night. He was coming off of a 24-save shutout vs. the Ducks on October 30th. He joins Ernie Wakely as the only other Blues rookie to post consecutive shutouts, Wakely did it way back in 1970. The way Allen is playing, he is going to force coach Hitchcock to give him starts. He is only owned in 41 percent of Yahoo leagues.
Allen stopped all 24 shots that he faced in the Blues 2-0 win over the Ducks last Thursday. Allen has gone 2-1-0 with a 1.34 GAA and .944 SV% in three starts this season. Brian Elliott has been great as well, but Allen is forcing the Blues to play him. Tonight, he faces a Devils team who have won three of their last four.
Allen surrendered three goals on 22 shots in a 4-1 loss to Vancouver last Thursday. It was Allen's first loss of the season and he now sits at 1-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .915 SV%. The Blues team defense will help both Allen and Brian Elliott's numbers all season. He draws a tough matchup vs. the Ducks, but the Blues should be able to slow them down.
Allen allowed a single goal on 25 shots in a win over the Coyotes last Saturday. Tonight will mark his second start of the year as the Blues have split the starts 70/30 in Brian Elliott's favour. Tonight he will face a Canucks team who were shelled by the Stars on Tuesday. Allen will continue to carve our a larger role if he plays well.
Allen will make his season debut on Saturday vs. the Coyotes. Allen went 9-4-0 with a 2.46 GAA and .905 SV% in 15 games with the Blues. He will be a full-time NHLer after spending four years in the AHL. He makes for a nice start against an average Coyotes offence.
Dillon, 23, had six goals and 11 assists in 2013-14. The 6-foot-3, 225 lbs. defensemen led the Stars in hits last season with 168 and finished second in blocked shots (149). Dillon will once again play 20-plus minutes a night, but his fantasy value is limited due to his lack of power-play time.
Markstrom, 24, was acquired in the trade that sent Roberto Luongo to the Florida Panthers last March. He was 2-8-3 with a 3.39 GAA and .873 SV% between the Panthers and Canucks last season. Markstrom was once considered the NHL's top goaltending prospect and will likely be claimed by another team. He has just one year with a $1.2 million cap-hit left on his contract, making him a relatively low-risk add.
