Jake Allen Silences McDavid, Blues Win 2-1
5 years agoSt. Louis Blues netminder Jake Allen turned away 43 shots and allowed just one goal in the third period to James Neal of the Edmonton Oilers. While sophomore Jordan Binnington has been among the Top 10 fantasy goalies in the league, Allen is not far behind in a bounce-back season for him. In limited appearances, he has a .930 save percentage. Forward David Perron is also having a nice season. After a hat trick in his last game, he added an assist on Wednesday night to give him 10 points in his last 10 games. With 34 points in 36 games this season, he’s on pace for a career-high point total. Connor McDavid was held scoreless and has just one goal in his last nine games (but nine assists). Still, don’t feel too bad for McDavid, who has 59 points in 37 games. Leon Draisaitl had a whopping eight shots on net in the game but recorded just one assist. That helper moved him to within one point of the team lead with 58 points.
