Allen made 21 saves in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Evan Rodrigues banged home a rebound early in the first period, but Allen stood tall the rest of the way to record his first win of the season. The 35-year-old netminder will see a hefty workload over the next couple of weeks with Jacob Markstrom (lower body) already on the shelf, and Allen should be up to the task after posting a 2.66 GAA and a .906 save percentage over 31 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Allen (cramping) was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against Florida.

EDGE Analysis

Although Nico Daws was in the starter's crease during Thursday's morning skate, it appears likely that Allen will draw the start. Allen exited Monday's matchup against the Blue Jackets after two stanzas due to cramping, but it doesn't seem as though the issue will force him to miss additional time. Prior to exiting Monday's game, he turned aside 23 of 24 shots (.958 save percentage).

Allen won't return to Monday's game against the Blue Jackets due to cramping.

EDGE Analysis

Allen didn't come out for the start of the third period, as he was replaced between the pipes by Jacob Markstrom. The Devils ruled Allen out for the remainder of the contest late in the final frame. The veteran goaltender turned aside 23 of 24 shots prior to exiting in his first appearance of the 2025-26 campaign.

Allen will guard the road goal against the Blue Jackets on Monday, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will get his first start of the season after Jacob Markstrom went 1-1-0 against Carolina and Tampa Bay to open the 2025-26 campaign. The 35-year-old Allen posted a 13-16-1 record with four shutouts, a 2.66 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 31 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Allen will defend the road net in preseason action against Philadelphia on Saturday, Jonathan Bailey of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen earned a 13-16-1 record with a 2.66 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 31 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. He will play in New Jersey's preseason finale before assuming the role of the team's No. 2 netminder behind Jacob Markstrom during the 2025-26 campaign.

Allen will start Friday's preseason game on the road against the Islanders, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils plan for Allen to play about half of Friday's matchup, while Jakub Malek will take over in the crease for the second half of the game. Once the regular season begins, Allen is slated to serve as the primary backup to Jacob Markstrom.

Allen agreed to terms on a five-year, $9 million contract with New Jersey on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen put up decent ratios last year, posting a 2.66 GAA and a .906 save percentage to go with four shutouts in 31 contests. Unfortunately, those numbers didn't translate to wins, as the 34-year-old netminder went just 13-16-1. Five years is a significant term to commit to a player of his age, but with the AAV coming in under $2 million, fans probably can't complain too much.

Allen made 20 saves in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils held a 4-2 lead midway through the second period, but Allen couldn't stop the home squad from tying it up before the end of regulation. Brian Dumoulin scored the winner 90 seconds into OT to bail out his netminder, however. It was Allen's first win since March 17, snapping an 0-3-0 skid, and on the season he's 13-16-1 in 31 outings with a 2.66 GAA and .906 save percentage. The 34-year-old goalie will become a free agent this offseason, and he should draw interest from clubs looking for an experienced backup.

Allen is slated to patrol the crease on the road against Boston on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has struggled for wins this season, earning just 12 victories in 30 appearances despite posting a decent 2.61 GAA and recording four shutouts. With the 34-year-old Allen taking the first game of the Devils' back-to-back, fantasy players can expect to see Jacob Markstrom guarding the cage at home versus Detroit on Wednesday in the season finale.

Allen stopped 19 of 22 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils took a quick 2-0 lead in the first period, but that was all the support Allen received. The Penguins were able to get two power-play goals against him, and he lost for the third time in his last four outings. The 34-year-old goalie slipped to 12-16-1 with a 2.61 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 30 appearances this season. Jacob Markstrom should be expected to get the nod Sunday versus the Islanders.
