Allen will defend the net from the visiting Ducks on Thursday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be the 10th straight appearance for Allen, as the 27-year-old netminder has been relied upon even more with backup Carter Hutton rounding out his recovery from a lower-body injury. Anaheim has had trouble finding a groove offensively given that its forwards have been perpetually banged up, but the Ducks will be well rested having been off since Monday. Allen has gone 5-2-0 with a 1.76 GAA and .933 save percentage in eight career starts against this next opponent.
