The St. Louis Blues are going to ride the hot hand.
Goaltender Carter Hutton will get the start in Thursday's game against the Minnesota Wild after stopping all 34 shots faced in a 3-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday.

It had previously been announced that Jake Allen would make his first start since Jan. 19 on Thursday in his return from a team-mandated mental break.
Allen will, however, suit up as Hutton's backup as Pheonix Copley has been returned to the AHL.
