Jake Allen getting the nod for Blues on Thursday

St. Louis Blues goalie Jake Allen will start against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night.

What It Means:

Allen has struggled recently, but was solid in his last start, allowing just one goal on 23 shots in a winning effort over the Chicago Blackhawks Monday night. He's 17-9-3 this season, with a .905 save percentage and 2.61 goals-against average. The Hurricanes are scoring 2.51 goals per game (19th in the NHL).

Allen is our seventh-ranked fantasy goalie on Thursday's seven-game slate. Our models project him for 24.9 saves, 2.2 goals against and a 54.0 percent chance of scoring a win tonight.
