Allen made 20 saves in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
The Devils held a 4-2 lead midway through the second period, but Allen couldn't stop the home squad from tying it up before the end of regulation. Brian Dumoulin scored the winner 90 seconds into OT to bail out his netminder, however. It was Allen's first win since March 17, snapping an 0-3-0 skid, and on the season he's 13-16-1 in 31 outings with a 2.66 GAA and .906 save percentage. The 34-year-old goalie will become a free agent this offseason, and he should draw interest from clubs looking for an experienced backup.

Allen is slated to patrol the crease on the road against Boston on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has struggled for wins this season, earning just 12 victories in 30 appearances despite posting a decent 2.61 GAA and recording four shutouts. With the 34-year-old Allen taking the first game of the Devils' back-to-back, fantasy players can expect to see Jacob Markstrom guarding the cage at home versus Detroit on Wednesday in the season finale.

Allen stopped 19 of 22 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
The Devils took a quick 2-0 lead in the first period, but that was all the support Allen received. The Penguins were able to get two power-play goals against him, and he lost for the third time in his last four outings. The 34-year-old goalie slipped to 12-16-1 with a 2.61 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 30 appearances this season. Jacob Markstrom should be expected to get the nod Sunday versus the Islanders.

Allen will get the starting nod at home versus the Penguins on Friday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen will make his 30th appearance in the crease for the Devils this season, having gone 12-15-1 with a 2.59 GAA and four shutouts along the way. With another back-to-back to end the year, Allen figures to get at least one more start before the end of the regular season -- likely either Tuesday or Wednesday against the Bruins or Red Wings, respectively.

Allen saved both shots he faced in relief of Jacob Markstrom in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Markstrom fell flat in the third period, and after giving up three goals in a span of 5:52 in the final frame, head coach Sheldon Keefe made the switch in goal. This outing did little to change Allen's numbers for the season -- he's at a 2.59 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 29 outings. The Devils' playoff spot isn't secure just yet, but they need either a point earned or a point lost by each of the Rangers, Islanders and Blue Jackets to clinch. At that point, don't be surprised if Allen gets a start or two in the final week of the season to keep Markstrom fresh for the likely first-round playoff series against the Hurricanes.

Allen allowed four goals on 19 shots in Friday's 4-0 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Allen gave up two goals within the first two minutes, and the Devils weren't able to get a comeback attempt off the ground. After winning three straight games earlier in the month, Allen has allowed seven goals on 38 shots across his last two starts, both losses. He's down to 12-15-1 with a 2.61 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 28 appearances. Jacob Markstrom is likely to start on the road Saturday in the first of two straight games versus the Wild.

Allen is expected to tend the twine on the road against the Jets on Friday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has played in four of the Devils' last nine outings, posting a 3-1-0 record, 1.77 GAA and .943 save percentage. With New Jersey entering a back-to-back, fantasy players can likely expect Jacob Markstrom to get the starting nod on the road versus Minnesota on Saturday. If Allen can continue to string together some victories, he could see increased opportunities down the stretch.

Allen gave up three goals on 19 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Allen allowed all three goals in a span of 4:39 during the second period, and it was too much for the Devils to overcome. This was Allen's first loss since Feb. 26 -- he had given up a total of four goals on 103 shots over his previous three wins, a stretch that has earned him a 50-50 split of playing time with Jacob Markstrom. For the season, Allen is at 12-14-1 with a 2.56 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 27 appearances. If the goalie rotation holds, Markstrom would face one of his former teams, the Canucks, on Monday, while Allen is in line for a road start versus the Blackhawks on Wednesday.

Head coach Sheldon Keefe said Wednesday that Allen will start Saturday's home game against the Senators, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen and Jacob Markstrom have alternated starts in recent weeks, and that trend will continue over the next few games, as Markstrom will be between the pipes at home against the Flames on Thursday before Allen tends the twine against Ottawa. Allen has been sharp over his last three outings, going 3-0-0 with a 1.33 GAA and .961 save percentage during that time.

Allen turned aside 45 shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder faced a season-high workload and didn't blink, taking a shutout into the third period before Mathieu Olivier banged a shot past him midway through the final frame. Allen has won three straight starts, allowing just four goals on 103 shots over that stretch while working in a timeshare with the struggling Jacob Markstrom.
