The St. Louis Blues have plenty of problems and the goaltender wasn’t really near the top of the list. How then, does it make sense to make a goaltending change at this stage of the game?
It makes sense, because there are only so many changes you can make to a lineup. There are only so many feasable options available to a coach.
Outside of the very remote chance Ty Rattie gets into the lineup, there aren’t any players that are being scratched from the current lineup that would make a significant change. As good as Brian Elliott has been, Jake Allen can be that significant change.
