Allen (personal) returned to the ice as a new father Saturday, but he will give way to Carter Hutton as the evening's home starter against the Stars, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given that he's available for a game-day skate, there's every reason to believe that Allen will be available as the backup in this one. He's on pace for a career-high 36 wins this campaign, albeit with peripheral numbers -- he's maintained a 2.63 GAA and .904 save percentage -- that are the worst in his three-plus years in the league.
