Needing a win to snap a three-game losing streak, Martin St-Louis turned to Jake Allen on Tuesday night. Allen had put in a spectacular performance in a losing effort versus the Detroit Red Wings in game two of the season, and the coach was hoping for something similar.
A spectacle is precisely what Allen provided, dealing with another strong start from the Red Wings in their own building. He didn’t have a perfect period like the first meeting when he turned aside 25 shots, but did handle 15 of the 16 sent his way, and 41 of the 43 on the night.
