Blues netminder Jaroslav Halak is making good progress towards a return to the ice.
Rookie Jake Allen has filled in admirably during Halak's absence, which has bought the starter some extra time to rehab his ailment. Halak took a full complement of shots during Friday's practice, a sign that he's nearly ready to come back, although Allen is the likely starter for Sunday's game against the Canucks. It's not a certainty, but it's a decent gamble to activate Halak for the coming week.
