Blues' Jake Allen: Taking advantage of easy schedule

Allen made 26 saves in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Colorado.

Analysis:

While Allen had to stand tall until the Blues offense was able to solve counterpart Calvin Pickard, four goals in the final 23:10 turned a 1-0 deficit into a relatively routine 4-2 victory. He has had the benefit of facing bottom-six offenses four times during his current 6-1-0 stretch, and St. Louis has four more such opponents on the schedule over its next five. Expect Allen to continue beating up on this weak competition with a playoff berth at stake.
