Allen made 20 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Senators on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

It was his fourth consecutive start, and he allowed as many goals Saturday as he'd surrendered in his previous three games combined. Allen gave up a shorthanded goal that hit his pad and trickled through in the first period. His mates took a 2-1 lead with two goals within the first minute of play in the second before the Sens turned up the heat. They put three goals past Allen on four shots in a 4:55 span to start the second, and they never looked back. Ottawa found twine again at the midpoint of the third. Allen is trying to help his new team climb the wild-card mountain -- the Devils are six points behind the Red Wings for the Eastern Conference's second wild-card spot.
