Jake Allen used to be questionable for the start tomorrow night in Chicago against the Blackhawks thanks to an injury sustained in Saturday’s preseason game. It took a little while for the Blues to release a non-nebulous statement on his condition.
Well, this seems to be a non-nebulous statement from the team: Allen will start the season opener. From the Blues’ official website:
"I didn't feel comfortable and didn't feel very good at the time, but a couple days off was nice just to get back to 100 percent and ready to go," Allen said after Tuesday's practice.
