Blues' Jake Allen: Seeking seventh straight win Thursday

Allen was named the starting home goalie for Thursday's game against the Lightning, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Allen is rolling with six consecutive wins and a tidy 1.95 GAA over that span. He capped off a strong November with a performance that included saving 18-of-21 shots from the Stars, and while that wasn't necessarily a strong effort, no one will be denying how hot the Blues have been -- the Notes have churned out 25 goals to the tune of six wins over the last seven games. Allen will do his best to stave off a Lightning team averaging 2.92 goals per contest this season, the seventh-best rate in the league.
