Jake Allen feels good following voluntary skatesJuly 08, 2020 | 02:27 PM

Jake Allen has been taking part in skates with some teammates during Phase 2 of the NHL Return to Play Plan. Analysis: "I feel a lot better than I thought (I would)," Allen said. "I've been prepping and doing some specific stuff to make sure this transition (back to playing) hasn't been that hard. As time has gone on, I've realized what I need to do to keep my body ready to rock. We knew it was going to be a short training camp. You're jumping right into it and games are right away." He believes the Blues stand a good chance to repeat as champions. Allen served as the backup goaltender during the team's run to Stanley Cup last year behind Jordan Binnington.
