Sharks vs. Blues, Game 4 Lines: Jake Allen starts
St. Louis turns to Jake Allen in net.
The Sharks make no changes ahead of game four, which doesn't come as much of a surprise. We already talked about St. Louis rolling with Jake Allen, which is the biggest change entering the fourth game of this series. San Jose didn't play a great possession game in game three, but given the likely impact of score effects it's hard to read too much into it. If the Sharks play the way they have through the first three games of this series, I like their chances.
