In the midst of the St. Louis Blues’ impressive display against the Colorado Avalanche, Jake Allen has been removed from the game with an apparent injury. Not much is known right now, as not many have caught what caused Ken Hitchcock to remove his starting goaltender.
It’s as if there haven’t been enough injuries to the Blues goaltending corps, as Allen has already been on Injured Reserve once this season with a lower-body injury. It is being reported on twitter by many that what may be the reason is that Allen hurt himself late in the first period.
