Jake Allen Is Starting Against Blackhawks
Jake Allen used to be questionable for the start tomorrow night in Chicago against the Blackhawks thanks to an injury sustained in Saturday’s preseason game. It took a little while for the Blues to release a non-nebulous statement on his condition.
Well, this seems to be a non-nebulous statement from the team: Allen will start the season opener. From the Blues’ official website:
"I didn't feel comfortable and didn't feel very good at the time, but a couple days off was nice just to get back to 100 percent and ready to go," Allen said after Tuesday's practice. "I knew in the back of my mind that I should be good to go on Wednesday. It was just doing the proper steps to be ready."
