Jake Allen rights ship for first NHL win
Jake Allen - G - St Louis Blues
Feb. 13, 2013 - 10:25 PM ET

Jake Allen won in his first NHL start as the Blues knocked off the Red Wings 4-3 in overtime Wednesday night.

It didn't start off too promising as the 22-year-old gave up a goal on the first shot he faced and the Blues were down 2-0 by 7:54 of the first period. Altogether, he made 15 saves. Depending on how Jaroslav Halak's groin behaves, Allen could be in for a handful of starts in the coming weeks. It also helps him that Brian Elliott hasn't exactly been dominating, either.
