Blues' Jake Allen: Takes loss Saturday

Allen stopped 25 of 28 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres.

Analysis:

The loss was the first in five starts for Allen, who has improved his performance over the last two weeks. He had entered the game having won five of six starts with a 1.67 goals-against average and a .941 save percentage. His play has been a big part of the Blues' winning streak that was snapped after six games Saturday, and he's reclaimed the job as St. Louis' No. 1 goalie.
