Fantasy owners should grab Jake Allen, who played well in March when Halak was struggling. Brian Elliot will also be in the mix, but he has saved just 85.9 percent of his shots this season. | | |

Description: St. Louis Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak will start again Sunday against the Flames after shutting out Edmonton Saturday night in his first start since March 10. | Insight: Halak owners have been patiently waiting while Jake Allen has gone 5-1 with a 1.99 GAA in six starts since March 7. The Blues' defense allows just 23.9 SOG per game, tops in the NHL, and it's about time their goaltenders started taking advantage of that. | | |

Description: St. Louis Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak will make his first start since March 10 when the Blues take on Edmonton Saturday. | Insight: Fantasy owners have been patiently waiting while Jake Allen has gone 5-1 with a 1.99 GAA in six starts since March 7. Halak has a solid 2.38 GAA this season but that is misleading since St. Louis allows the fewest SOG in the NHL. Halak's .881 SV% should tell fantasy owners how he really has played in 2013. | | |
| 3/6/2013 5:23:00 PM |
Description: St. Louis Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak choked away a 4-1 lead by allowing four late goals Tuesday against the Kings. The team responded by recalling Jake Allen Wednesday. | Insight: Halak has a strong 2.31 GAA but his SV% is just .884 since St. Louis doesn't give up a ton of SOG. Backup Brian Elliot has been abysmal with a 3.65 GAA this season so the team can't turn to him with confidence when Halak is struggling. | | |
