Allen and Halak on the ice, leading one to believe Elliott would be the starter tonight.
Halak is out on the optional skate working his way back from injury and Allen is the backup so Elliott would be the default starter here. The Blues need this win as the bottom playoff seeds in the West are still seemingly up for grabs.
