Watch: Koivu's center-ice shot spoils Allen's shutout with 10 seconds left

With only 10 seconds remaining to secure his fourth shutout of the season, a seemingly harmless dump-in spoiled it all for Jake Allen.
The St. Louis Blues goaltender was left baffled after Mikko Koivu's shot skipped off the ice and over his glove late in Tuesday's critical contest versus Minnesota.
The blunder was inconsequential though, as Allen turned aside 32 other Wild shots en route to a 2-1 victory.
