Markstrom is doing his best Panthers-era Luongo impression, posting mediocre win totals (3 wins in 11 starts) but solid peripherals (2.59 GAA and .921 SV%). He has a nice matchup against a struggling Sabres squad and could make for a good spot start if you're in a pinch.
Allen has not started since last Tuesday when he had his five game winning streak snapped. He should be well rested when he faces the Oilers tonight. It is a good matchup for Allen, so he should make for a good start tonight.

Allen was fantasy gold last week. He went 3-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA, .969 SV% and one shutout. He has a tough matchup vs. the Canucks tomorrow. However given the way he has played since being recalled, he should give the Blues a chance to win.

Allen has won all three starts he has made since being recalled a couple of weeks ago to solidify the Blues goaltending. The 22-year-old has posted a 2.65 GAA and .913 SV% in those three starts. He has a decent matchup vs. a mediocre Coyotes team tonight.
Allen is 6-1 on the season with a 2.63 GAA and .903 SV% - outplaying last season's standout goalie tandem Halak and Elliott.
