Blues' Jake Allen: Defending cage Tuesday

Allen will patrol the blue paint against the Wild on Tuesday, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

Allen rebounded from a four-game losing streak to blank the Avalanche on Sunday despite taking a puck to the throat. It appears the netminder is not suffering any undue effects from the incident and will not miss a start. The 26-year-old is 2-1-0 versus Minnesota this season and will be looking for his third win over the Central Division leaders.
