Allen will start in goal against Buffalo on Monday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his first 10 games, Allen put up a ridiculous 1.53 goals against average and .950 save percentage while going 7-3-0, but he has really struggled in the five games since (3.19 goals against average, .878 save percentage). However, Allen did have one exceptional performance during this span, coming November 19 against the very Buffalo Sabres he will take on Monday. Buffalo is a young team that struggles to score (2.10 goals per game) and Allen should be able to turn in another solid performance.
