Blues will battle Rangers, Allen's turn

The St. Louis Blues will host the New York Rangers at the Scottrade Center tonight, 7:00 p.m. As the standings are now, a win would put the Blues at 81 points (with the Blackhawks) which is one short of the Dallas Stars.

Well... Whether you like it or not, Jake Allen has become the #1 goalie again. Brian Elliott was injured during the Blues' last game (loss to the Sharks). For many, this is not a big deal. Both goalies are great. Elliott gave us some amazing games, but now it is time for Allen to return as if he was never gone.

The Blues are dropping left and right. I hope we have a full roster come playoffs.

Tonight's game will start

Here are the projected lines:
Forwards
Schwartz- Lehtera- Tarasenko
