ABOUT THE BLUES . St. Louis has clinched a playoff spot at 49- 23- 7, and is now trying to hold off both Nashville and Chicago to finish atop the Central Division. The Blues have 105 points, the Preds are at 104 and the Hawks at 102. . The Blues edged the Hawks 2- 1 in Chicago Sunday night, giving them control of how the rest of this week goes. Each team has three games remaining. St. Louis is 5- 3- 2 in its last 10 and has won three straight. . Jake Allen made 38 saves in the St. Louis net for the win and will start against the Jets tonight. When asked after Monday’s practice if it was difficult telling veteran Brian Elliott he was going with Allen again, Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said: “ Maybe for him, but not for me. I’ve got to do what’s best for the hockey club and what’s best for the hockey club is whoever’s playing the best gets to play. That’s just the way it is.” . Allen, FYI, is 4- 0- 1 in his last five starts with a .956 save percentage and 1.20 goal- against average. In Elliott’s last four starts the Blues were 1- 3 and the netminder had an .824 save percentage. Elliott faced the media as well on Monday and was asked if he was reading anything into the change — Hitchcock, after all, had said recently the vet would carry the load into the playoffs. “ There’s an inside voice and an outside voice, so...” Elliott said. “ I have my own feelings, so I’ll keep them to myself.” . One more thing on the goaltending situation for the Blues as the playoffs approach: St. Louis is 29- 10- 3 when Allen starts. . .

Kings who were in action Monday night against Vancouver. Blake Wheeler and Drew Stafford scored the Jets’ goals in their second straight win. The Wild would have clinched a playoff berth with a win, but they lost their third straight game for the first time since Jan. 3- 13. Devan Dubnyk allowed both Jets goals on 34 shots. First Period 1.
