Blues' Jake Allen: Holds on for seventh straight win

Allen stopped 22 of 26 shots to earn his seventh straight victory in the Blues' 5-4 win over the Lightning on Thursday.

Analysis:

The Blues have made things very interesting of late, blowing third-period leads in each of the previous two games, only to get their two points in extra frames. The same thing was happening Thursday as Tampa Bay refused to give up when down a pair of goals, but Allen and his mates were able to hold on. Allen is now 9-0-2 at home heading into Saturday's home game against Winnipeg.
