The St. Louis Blues are between a rock and a hard place right now. The club currently holds the first Wild Card spot in the Western Conference playoff race, but they are going to need to make some improvements if they don’t want to end up on the golf course come mid-April. The largest issue holding the team back right now is their goaltending, or lack thereof.
Last season, the Blues split starts pretty evenly between goalies Brian Elliott and Jake Allen, and it seemed to work well for both players. Both netminders ranked in the top 15 in save-percentage and goals-against-average among goalies who started at least 30 games, according to NHL.
