Jake Allen backstops Blues to 4th straight shutout

The St. Louis Blues remain impenetrable.

Jake Allen made 32 saves in a 4-0 victory over the Washington Capitals on Saturday night, giving St. Louis its fourth consecutive shutout.

The Blues haven't allowed a goal since March 16, when they gave up six in a loss to the Edmonton Oilers.

"It's always fun to get shutouts," Allen added, "but it's all about wins. Shutouts are the bonus part. We've got four bonuses lately."

Brian Elliott has recorded three straight shutouts since returning from injury on March 19.

Washington failed to clinch the Presidents' Trophy, awarded to the team with the best record in the league.

The Blues host the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday and the Boston Bruins on Friday.
