SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) 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 on
Saturday against the San Jose Sharks 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.
Allen started all six games last postseason for St. Louis when he
allowed 2.20 goals per game and posted a .904 save percentage in a
first-round loss to Minnesota.
