NHL: Blues making goalie change

SAN JOSE -- The St. Louis Blues are making a change in goal for Game 4 after losing two straight games in the Western Conference final.

Coach Ken Hitchcock said Friday that Jake Allen will get the nod Saturday over Brian Elliott when the Blues try to even the series at two games apiece. Elliott has started all 17 games this postseason for St. Louis. Elliott was pulled in the third period of a 3-0 loss in Game 3 on Thursday night after allowing his third goal on 14 shots. After a stellar performance in the opener when he stopped 31 of 32 shots in a 2-1 victory, Elliott has allowed three goals in back-to-back games.
