Allen stopped all 26 shots that he faced in the Blues 1-0 win over the Devils on Tuesday. He has stopped all 50 of the shots that he has faced in his last two starts and should make for a good start tonight as he takes on the Devils again, this time in St. Louis.
Allen stopped all 26 shots that he faced in the Blues 1-0 win over the Devils last night. He was coming off of a 24-save shutout vs. the Ducks on October 30th.

He is only owned in 41 percent of Yahoo leagues.
The Maple Leafs did not hold a morning skate today, but the belief is that Bernier will be between the pipes after sitting on Saturday. He went 3-3-1 with a 2.57 GAA and .917 SV% in October and starts November with a great matchup. Arizona is allowing the most goals against and are t-19th in scoring (2.54 G/PG).
Allen stopped all 24 shots that he faced in the Blues 2-0 win over the Ducks last Thursday. Allen has gone 2-1-0 with a 1.34 GAA and .944 SV% in three starts this season. Brian Elliott has been great as well, but Allen is forcing the Blues to play him. Tonight, he faces a Devils team who have won three of their last four.
Bernier stopped all 10 shots.. yes TEN shots…that he faced for his first shutout of the season on Tuesday vs. Buffalo. It was just his second win of the year but he has been much better posting a 1.84 GAA and .932 SV% over his last four outings. Tonight he has a good matchup vs. an injury riddled Blue Jackets lineup

Allen surrendered three goals on 22 shots in a 4-1 loss to Vancouver last Thursday. It was Allen's first loss of the season and he now sits at 1-1-0 with a 2.01 GAA and .915 SV%. The Blues team defense will help both Allen and Brian Elliott's numbers all season. He draws a tough matchup vs. the Ducks, but the Blues should be able to slow them down.
Bernier was pulled after he allowed four goals on 25 shots in the Maple Leafs loss to the Bruins on Saturday. Despite the rough outing, he will get a chance to bounce-back right away and it should not be that difficult with the Sabres in town. Bernier holds a 3.38 GAA and .904 SV% entering Tuesday.
Bernier allowed two goals on 36 shots in the Maple Leafs win over the Islanders on Tuesday. He was not scheduled to start the game that was postponed in Ottawa, but the Leafs will turn to Bernier for his third straight start tonight vs. the Bruins. Bernier was 1-1-0 with a 3.26 GAA and .915 SV% vs. Boston last year.
Allen allowed a single goal on 25 shots in a win over the Coyotes last Saturday. Tonight will mark his second start of the year as the Blues have split the starts 70/30 in Brian Elliott's favour. Tonight he will face a Canucks team who were shelled by the Stars on Tuesday. Allen will continue to carve our a larger role if he plays well.
Bernier kept the Leafs in Satruday's contest in Detroit, stopping 31 straight shots, before Henrik Zetterbeg blasted one by him with nine seconds left in Overtime. It was by far his best game of the season and he will look to carry it into tonight's meeting with the up-start Islanders.
Bernier has not started since last Saturday and he gave up five goals on 41 shots in a loss to the Penguins last night. Bernier's .882 SV% is not going to lock-down the number-1 job, so he needs a big night tonight. Bernier went 1-1-1 with a 2.50 GAA and .928 SV% vs. Detroit last season.

Allen will make his season debut on Saturday vs. the Coyotes. Allen went 9-4-0 with a 2.46 GAA and .905 SV% in 15 games with the Blues. He will be a full-time NHLer after spending four years in the AHL. He makes for a nice start against an average Coyotes offence.
Bernier made 11 saves on 12 shots after relieving James Reimer in Sunday's win over the Rangers. He took a seat on Tuesday vs. Colorado, but it looks like he will be back in goal on Friday vs. Detroit. He carries an ugly .882 SV% to start the season, but he did enjoy moderate success vs. the Red Wings last season---1-1-1 with a 2.50 GAA and .928 SV%.
Bernier allowed four goals on 32 shots in the Leafs 4-3 loss to the Habs in the season opener. The Penguins lit the Ducks up on Thursday, so this is not a pretty matchup for Bernier. Expect James Reimer to get the call on Sunday vs. the Rangers.

Bernier had a tremendous preseason, winning all three games and posting a 1.17 GAA and .958 SV%. Bernier enjoyed a solid debut season with the Leafs, winnings 26 of 55 games with a 2.68 GAA and .923 SV%. The Maple Leafs are taking a more balanced approach into the 2014-15 season and it should provide Bernier with more stable play in front of him, which in turn, should improve Bernier's splits.
Tatar left a game last week after being kneed in the head by a linesman. There has been no reports of Tatar struggling with headaches or anything, so expect him to be ready to go in the Red Wings' season opener on Thursday.
Tatar was injured on Wednesday but passed the concussion test and is not suffering from any headaches, which is a great sign for the 23-year-old. Expect him to be in the lineup on October 9th and push for 20-plus goals this season.
