Allen will guard the road goal against Philadelphia on Saturday, according to Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will make his second straight start after stopping 23 shots in Thursday's 1-0 loss to Florida. He has a 7-3-0 record with a 2.13 GAA and a .920 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. Philadelphia sits 29th in the league with 2.63 goals per game this campaign.

Allen turned aside 23 shots in Thursday's 1-0 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Sam Reinhart continued his career dominance over Allen -- he has seven goals in 14 career games against the veteran netminder -- by beating him top shelf from a tight angle midway through the first period. It was the only offense either team could muster, as Allen and Sergei Bobrovsky put on a goaltending clinic the rest of the way. Allen has given up more than three goals in a start only once all season, going 7-3-0 in 11 outings with a 2.13 GAA and .920 save percentage as he continues to split the workload in the Devils' crease with Jacob Markstrom.

Allen is slated to start on the road against Florida on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has won his past two games while saving 62 of 65 shots (.954 save percentage). He's improved to 7-2-0 with a 2.24 GAA and a .916 save percentage in 10 appearances this year. Allen previously faced Florida on Oct. 16 and stopped 21 of 22 shots en route to a 3-1 victory.

Allen stopped 29 of 31 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was beaten twice in the third period, once by Connor McMichael and once by Alex Ovechkin, but he came through in the shootout by stopping three of Washington's four shots. Allen has been alternating between the pipes with Jacob Markstrom, but the former has been productive of late with four wins over his last six appearances. The 35-year-old Allen has gone 4-2-0 with a 2.43 GAA and a .907 save percentage in that span.

Allen will guard the road goal versus the Capitals on Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen got back in the win column with a 2-1 shootout win over the Penguins last Saturday, but he then rode the bench for two games to break the Devils' goalie rotation. The Capitals are struggling, having scored just 12 goals while going 1-3-0 over their last four contests.

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.
