What It Means:

Allen takes over for St. Louis for the second night of a back-to-back set after Carter Hutton blanked the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night. He's won three in a row and four of his last five, bringing his record to 21-14-3 on the year, with a 2.67 goals-against average and .904 save percentage.

Our models project Allen to stop 24.3 shots and allow 2.1 goals while giving him a 57.0 percent chance of earning the win. He is numberFire's seventh-ranked goalie for the eight-game slate.
