Blues' Jake Allen: Set to start Monday

Allen will be between the pipes for Monday's game against the Kings, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

Allen has reeled off three consecutive wins while conceding only four total goals in that span, with two of those victories coming against two Western Conference heavyweights in the Wild and Ducks. Facing the Kings on the road will represent another tough challenge for Allen, but even if he doesn't secure a win, he should at least escape without too much damage to his ratios. The Kings rank 23rd in the NHL in goals per game (2.49) and 15th in the league in power-play percentage.
