I know you linked to a web page explaining all this, but I'm just looking for a short answer if possible. Like, is there some sort of Skill Quotient involved, where Allen has a higher-rated skillset and thus was expected to allow less goals? (They both play for the same team using the same system.)

From my reading of that linked web page, it depends on shot quality, which is based on things like angle, distance, and whether the shot came shorthanded, 5-on-5, or on the powerplay. The metric doesn't include any provision for shooter skill.
So the Blues allowed higher quality shots when Elliott was in net than when Allen was in net. Read into that what you will.
