The St. Louis Blues seem to have found their goalie of the future in Jake Allen. If that wasn’t known until last night, then all of the doubters have certainly bought in.
Allen blanked the Nashville Predators and former Blue, Barret Jackman, with 45 saves. The St. Louis Blues won the game 4-0, but it was much closer than the scoreline indicated with 3 goals coming in the final period. If Ken Hitchcock was paying attention, he should continue to give Jake Allen the bulk of the starts while handing the reins to Brian Elliott for a change of pace shotstopper, or to give the Snake a rest.
