Blues turn to Allen for Game 3, Tarasenko unfit to play
by Josh Wegman from on (#56ZR1)
The St. Louis Blues started Jake Allen over Jordan Binnington in Game 3 against the Vancouver Canucks.
Binnington, who played every game during St. Louis' Stanley Cup run a year ago, allowed nine goals on 47 shots in two losses to open the series against Vancouver.
For his part, Allen was the superior goalie during the regular season.

Additionally, forwards Vladimir Tarasenko and Alexander Steen were deemed unfit to play.
It's worth noting that the Canucks and Blues play on Monday, too.
