EDGE Analysis

It appears the ailment Allen sustained in last weeks' contest was nothing serious as he's set to make back to back starts following a maintenance day Wednesday. The 26-year-old netminder will look to break out of a mid-season funk against the 10th and 13th ranked offenses in the league as he's gone 2-3-0 with a 3.73 GAA and .890 save percentage over his last five outings.
