Halak has been out since April 1st with a groin injury. He will be Elliott's backup tonight and will be ready for the playoffs. However Elliott has gone 9-2-0 with a 1.33 GAA and .949 SV% since Halak got hurt so he will likely start Game 1 of the playoffs.
Indicates Halak is still probably a little ways away. Ride Elliott in the interim.
Drop Halak if you haven't already, his fantasy season is over.
Jake Allen and Brian Elliott will see the starts going forward. If Elliott struggles again, Allen could become the unquestioned #1 in St. Louis.
Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said following the game -- a 4-1 Blues victory -- that Halak will likely miss some time because of the ailment. Hitchcock noted that goaltender Jake Allen, just returned to Peoria of the American Hockey League Saturday, will likely need to return to St. Louis to back up Elliott, who made 19 saves in the win Monday. Halak missed several starts in early February with a sore groin, but it's unclear if Monday's injury is related.
Brian Elliott who was recently brought back to the Blues roster has replaced Halak. Depending on how serious Halak's injury is expect Jake Allen to be recalled.
Halak has won just once in his last three starts despite posting solid numbers (1.69 GAA and .931 SV%). He has a though matchup Monday on the road vs. the Wild. He is 2-3-1 with a 3.01 GAA and .860 SV% away from home this year.
Halak stopped all 12 shots that he faced after replacing Jake Allen last night. St. Louis was unable to score, losing 3-0. He will start tomorrow vs. the Kings. He didn't fare very well in his vs. start vs. LA this season He is 0-1-0 with a 6.50 GAA and .762 SV% vs. the Kings.
Halak recorded a 19-save shutout last night vs. Edmonton. He has a good matchup again tonight when he takes on the Flames. Halak should make a good start.
Halak has lost a lot of his fantasy value because of Jake Allen's superb play. Halak is 5-3-1 with a 2.38 GAA and .881 SV% this season. He has a good matchup vs. the Oilers on Saturday.
Halak will start the second game of a Saturday-Sunday back-to-back for the Blues when they take on the Ducks. Last year Halak and Elliott that dominated the NHL this year it is a different story. Halak posted a 1.97 GAA and .926 SV% last season but is sitting at 2.31 GAA and .884 SV% this season. He has a tough matchup on Sunday vs. Anaheim.
Halak has won two of his four starts with a 1.76 GAA and .913 SV% since returning from injury. He will be between the pipes tonight against a good Kings. The Blues are banged up right now and they aren't the same team they were at the start of the season. Halak is still a good fantasy play regardless of matchup.
Halak is 1-1-1 since returning from his groin injury with a 1.62 GAA and .921 SV%. He has a solid matchup vs. a beatable Oilers team. He will be opposed by Devan Dubnyk who stopped 33 of 34 shots in a 5-1 win over Dallas last night.
Halak has allowed one goal on 20 shots in each of his last two games since coming back from injury. One of those games resulted in a win and the other a loss when the Blues were shutout by Colorado. Halak has a tough matchup tomorrow vs. a Blackhawks team that still hasn't lost in regulation, but it has to come to an end sometime... Maybe it'll be Halak who will get the job done.

Halak was scheduled to start yesterday for the Blues but didn't end up starting because he re-aggravated his groin injury in warmups. Jake Allen was recalled so Halak will likely be placed back on IR and should be considered day-to-day for the time being.
Halak had missed the Blues last 3 contests and was scheduled to start tonight but got hurt in warmups. Brian Elliott got the 3 starts that Halak missed and did not play well. Elliott allowed 11 goals on only 57 shots in those 3 games and lost them all.
