Allen will start Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Ken Hitchcock has proceeded with his plan to utilize Allen and Brian Elliot as "1A" and "1B" goaltenders. While neither has gotten off to a great start, Allen and his sub-.900 save percentage currently stand in the 1B position. Allen has an opportunity to make his case for jumping ahead of Elliot, but will need to do so against last year's Stanley Cup finalists who score at a rate of three goals per game.
