Blues' Jake Allen: Defending net Friday

Allen will guard the goal for Friday's Game 2 meeting with Nashville.

Analysis:

Allen seemed unstoppable during his first-round matchup with Minnesota, as he posted a 1.47 GAA and .956 save percentage. The same can't be said for the netminder's performance in Game 1, as he allowed four pucks to find the back of the net on 32 shots. The Preds' offense is averaging 3.40 goals per outing, so look for them to test the 26-year-old early and often.
