Allen will defend the road net in Friday's game versus the Golden Knights, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

After working in backup duties for three straight games, Allen returned to the crease Wednesday against Chicago and allowed just one goal on 19 shots but still recorded a loss. It was stellar individual production but just the second time in 12 games that Allen yielded less than three goals against. This could be a good chance to maintain his solid play, as only two teams score less goals per game than Vegas (2.53).
