Allen will defend the home goal during Thursday's matchup with Winnipeg, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was decent in his last start Wednesday versus Toronto, stopping 29 of 32 shots, but he ultimately suffered his eighth loss of the season due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. The 30-year-old will attempt to get back in the win column in a home matchup with a Jets team that's averaged 3.20 goals per game on the road this year, fifth in the NHL.
