After dealing Brian Elliott to the Calgary Flames on Friday, the St. Louis Blues now have their eyes set on Jake Allen.
With Elliott no longer in the picture, Allen appears to be the club's No. 1 goaltender going forward, but with just one year remaining on his contract, the club plans to get him locked up.
"He wants to be here, he wants to be the guy," general manager Doug Armstrong said, according to Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Dispatch. "I believe that before the start of next season we'll have something done."
Despite Elliott getting all put two starts this postseason, Allen had more regular season starts with 44. In all he posted a .920 save percentage and a 2.35 in 47 games.
