After St. Louis Blues goalies Brian Elliott and Jake Allen combined for four consecutive shutouts, Colorado Avalanche forward Mikhail Grigorenko scored Tuesday to end the streak at 258:29, dating back to March 16. It's the third-longest such streak since 1987.
After not allowing a goal for nearly two weeks, the Blues' Twitter account wasn't sure how to react:
Are we supposed to tweet when the opposition scores? We forgot what to do here. #stlblues

It was Elliott who allowed the goal after entering Tuesday with three straight shutouts, two of them coming against the Vancouver Canucks - who have been blanked in four of their last six games.
Allen continued the franchise-record streak in the team's most recent game, stopping 32 shots in Saturday's win over the league-best Washington Capitals.
| Date | Opp. | Goalie | Saves |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mar. 19 | VAN | Elliott | 19 |
| Mar. 22 | SJS | Elliott | 37 |
| Mar. 25 | VAN | Elliott | 15 |
| Mar. 26 | WSH | Allen | 32 |
The Blues enter Tuesday's action tied for first in the Western Conference with the Dallas Stars - who are also in action against the division rival Nashville Predators.
