Allen will be the starter between the pipes for Thursday night's contest against the Sabres, Andrew Allsman of KMOV.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has been playing quite well this season, and his 8-4-0 record and superb goalie statistics (1.91 GAA and a .934 save percentage) reflects that. Allen has a great matchup against Buffalo, as the Sabres have slogged their way to an 8-9-1 start and are currently just one point ahead of last place Toronto in the Atlantic Division. Allen earned a shutout win in his lone career regular season matchup with Buffalo.
