- The UNDER is 6-1 in the last seven meetings between the Capitals and Blues.

The Blues will turn to Jake Allen in nets as they try to win their fourth consecutive game Saturday. Allen, who has not started since allowing five goals to the Edmonton Oilers 10 days ago, has allowed nine goals on 43 shots in his past two starts.
