St. Louis Blues goaltender Jake Allen baked a batch of turnovers before Game 4, and decided to save one for Minnesota Wild forward Charlie Coyle.

After the Wild dumped the puck in Wednesday, Allen blindly rimmed it around the boards, failing to realize that not only was his defenseman not present, but Coyle was waiting in the wings, anticipating the puck. He made no mistake capitalizing on the giveaway.

The goal gave Minnesota their first lead of the series, in part due to Allen's spectacular play, as he had a 0.91 goals-against average and .974 save percentage in the series heading into this game.
