SAN JOSE - After pitching a 28-save shutout on Thursday night in Los Angeles, Jake Allen will be making his second consecutive start on Saturday afternoon in San Jose (3 p.m. CT, FSMW, Y98 FM).

Allen has two shutouts in his last four starts and is 8-3-1 with a 1.92 goals-against average, a .935 save-percentage and three shutouts in his last 12 road starts.

"I thought he played a heck of a game in LA, a shutout," Blues Head Coach Craig Berube said. "He did a good job in LA there, and we decided to go back with him today."

In addition, Berube said Vladimir Tarasenko has an upper-body injury and will not play against San Jose. Tarasenko is considered day-to-day. Jaden Schwartz will take Tarasenko's spot on the top line and Zach Sanford will re-enter the lineup, presumably on the third line with Oskar Sundqvist and Alexander Steen.
