Jake Allen gets the nod between the pipes for St. Louis
St. Louis Blues goaltender Jake Allen will start Thursday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Despite his .907 save percentage being the worst since his 2012-13 rookie season -- and a career-worst 2.57 goals-against average -- Allen has still managed a solid 16-7-3 record this year, including wins in two of his past three starts.
Our models project Allen for 24.7 saves, 2.7 goals against and a 50.0 percent chance of scoring a win tonight. He is our 13th-ranked goalie on Thursday's 10-game slate.
