Jake Allen Stops 34 Of 35 Shots In Loss On Thursday
7 years agoSt. Louis Blues goaltender Jake Allen was outstanding on Thursday in a 2-0 loss in San Jose. Allen's performance was a sigh of relief for fantasy owners still starting him, ending a five-game drought in which the goalie failed to post a save percentage above .897. The 27-year-old goaltender's ownership is down to just 85 percent in Yahoo! leagues after posting horrendous numbers in January (4.93 goals-against average, .871 save percentage) and February (3.32 GAA, .877 save percentage). While it is likely Allen's performance on Thursday night gets him the starting nod against the Kings on Saturday, he remains a very risky start for fantasy owners, as most fantasy owners cannot afford a bad goalie performance at this point in the season.
