Allen stopped 22 of 24 shots in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Sabres. The third goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Allen wasn't able to collect a third straight win, but he still had a fairly good effort. He allowed second-period goals to Josh Norris and Zach Benson. Allen has given up four goals on 92 shots over his last three outings, though Jacob Markstrom's play has also improved recently, leading to the two alternating starts over the last week-plus. For the year, Allen is 10-8-0 with a 2.47 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 19 appearances. The 35-year-old netminder remains a decent fantasy play for his stable ratios. The Devils' next game is Tuesday versus the Islanders.

Allen will start in net for Sunday's game against the Sabres, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has been excellent in his past two starts, allowing one goal each in victories over the Golden Knights and Ducks. The 35-year-old's next chance will come Sunday against the red-hot Sabres, who have won five consecutive games. He'll be playing behind a Devils lineup that is getting a big boost with the returns of Jack Hughes (hand) and Arseny Gritsyuk (upper body).

Allen stopped 36 of 37 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Allen couldn't make a 1-0 lead stand to the end, as he gave up a power-play goal to Pavel Dorofeyev with 4:11 left in the third period. The 35-year-old Allen didn't let that shake him, and he was perfect in overtime and the shootout to get his second win in a row. He improved to 10-7-0 with a 2.49 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 18 appearances. Allen hasn't had great consistency this year, but he's been a lot better than Jacob Markstrom, and that's starting to be reflected in the playing time. The Devils' next game is Friday in Utah.

Allen will protect the road goal versus the Golden Knights on Wednesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen won his last outing, posting 30 saves on 31 shots in a 4-1 win over the Ducks on Saturday. He's allowed 14 goals over his last four outings, but he's still gotten a decent share of playing time because Jacob Markstrom has also struggled. The Golden Knights will be missing Jack Eichel (illness) and Shea Theodore (upper body), which takes a little bit of punch out of the opposing lineup.

Allen continues to deliver better numbers (2.60 GAA, .907 save percentage) than Jacob Markstrom (3.66 GAA, .875 save percentage), and the two men are splitting starts.

EDGE Analysis

The Devils have been horrible lately, losing six of their past seven games and five consecutive at home. Allen is 1-5-0 in his last five starts. The win was by shutout, but three of those losses had at least five goals go past. You cannot have Allen or Jacob Markstrom in your net until they regain their bearings.

In the other three outings, however, Allen recorded a save percentage of .850 or lower. On the season, Allen has an 8-6-0 record with a 2.52 GAA and a .908 save percentage, fueled by a strong start that has since faded.
