Allen turned aside 33 shots in regulation and overtime and both shootout attempts he faced in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

He played well enough to earn a shutout, but a fluky Ryan Graves tally in the second period that deflected in off Ondrej Palat's helmet spoiled the goose egg. Allen made sure that was the only puck that would get past him, securing the win by denying Bryan Rust and Sidney Crosby in the shootout. The veteran netminder has been alternating starts with Jacob Markstrom since late October. Allen is 6-2-0 in nine outings with a 2.29 GAA and a .914 save percentage this season.

Allen will protect the home net against Pittsburgh on Saturday, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has lost his last two outings while allowing eight goals on 56 shots. He has a 5-2-0 record with a 2.48 GAA and a .904 save percentage over eight appearances this season. Pittsburgh sits fifth in the league with 3.60 goals per game this campaign.

Allen stopped 25 of 28 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has picked a bad time to lose consecutive games, allowing a total of eight goals on 56 shots. Jacob Markstrom is healthy and was dialed in versus the Kings on Saturday, so it may not be long before Allen is back in more of a firm backup role after starting for much of October when Markstrom was hurt. Through eight outings, Allen is 5-2-0 with a 2.48 GAA and a .904 save percentage. The 35-year-old should still see a decent share of starts to keep Markstrom from being overworked. The Devils are in action just twice over the next week, with tough home matchups against the Canadiens on Thursday and the Penguins on Saturday on the docket.

Allen will start Sunday's road game against Anaheim, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen's five-game winning streak came to an end in San Jose on Thursday when he allowed five goals on 28 shots (.821 save percentage) en route to a 5-2 loss, but he'll start in the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday. The Ducks have been a formidable opponent this year, ranking seventh in the NHL with 3.60 goals per game. Despite Thursday's struggles, Allen has been sharp this season, going 5-1-0 with a 2.39 GAA and .906 save percentage over seven appearances.

Allen stopped 23 of 28 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

The Sharks jumped out to a 3-0 lead before the Devils got on the board. Allen had won his first five decisions this season, but this was a much poorer showing, and it comes just after Jacob Markstrom's disastrous return from a lower-body injury in Colorado. Allen is at a 5-1-0 record with a 2.39 GAA and a .906 save percentage through seven outings. The next few games could be pivotal for determining the workload split in the Devils' crease. They visit the Kings on Saturday and the Ducks on Sunday, so expect both Allen and Markstrom to each draw a start to close out this road trip.

Allen is expected to start on the road against San Jose on Thursday, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

EDGE Analysis

Allen is off to a fantastic start, posting a 5-0-0 record, 1.93 GAA and .923 save percentage in six appearances in 2025-26. He's allowed two or fewer goals in four of those six outings. San Jose is 2-6-2 and ranks 17th in goals per game with 3.20 this year.

Allen stopped 21 of the 24 shots that he faced during Sunday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has done an admirable job filling in as the starting goaltender while Jacob Markstrom has been out with a lower-body injury. The 35-year-old dipped below a .900 save percentage in a game for the first time this season, but he did enough to guide the Devils to the overtime victory. His stat line to begin the season is impressive: 5-0-0 record, 1.72 GAA and .923 save percentage.

Allen will patrol the home crease against Colorado on Sunday, per Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has stopped 87 of the 94 shots he has faced during his four-game winning streak. During the 2024-25 regular season, he went 0-2-0 versus the Avalanche while allowing eight goals on 60 shots. Colorado is tied for 11th in the league with 3.33 goals per game this campaign.

Allen stopped 16 of 17 shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Allen surrendered the opening goal of the game at the 2:25 mark of the first period, when William Eklund found the back of the net on a San Jose power play. However, the 35-year-old Allen shut the door afterward, ultimately allowing the Devils to mount a comeback win. He has won each of his last four starts while posting a 1.75 GAA and an excellent .926 save percentage.

Allen will be in the home blue paint versus San Jose on Friday, Kristy Flannery of the Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen is off to a good start with a 3-0-0 record in four appearances. The 35-year-old netminder has a 1.91 GAA and a .931 save percentage this season. The Sharks defeated the Rangers 6-5 in overtime Thursday and could be a tired team Friday.
