Blues' Jake Allen: Gets starting nod for Thursday's contest

Allen will guard the goal in Thursday's home game against the Canucks, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

Allen has been red-hot in the month of February, posting a 4-1-0 record with a superb 1.40 GAA and .953 save percentage over five appearances. The 26-year-old backstop will look to pick up a fourth consecutive win in a favorable home matchup with a Canucks team that is a dismal 8-18-3 on the road this season.
