Allen was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start in Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has picked up wins in his last two starts, recording a 1.50 GAA and .947 across that span. The Blue Jackets will be a formidable opponent Monday, as they rank eighth in the NHL with 3.23 goals per game.

Allen stopped 31 of 33 shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has won his last two starts and has looked brilliant in the process, stopping 54 of 57 shots faced in the process. The 34-year-old veteran has been limited to 25 appearances this season, and while his 11-13-1 record isn't eye-popping by any means, he sports a solid .910 save percentage and a 2.60 GAA.

Allen was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate and is expected to guard the home crease versus Edmonton on Thursday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was stellar in his last start, stopping 23 of 24 shots in a 3-1 win over the Flyers on Sunday. Allen is 10-13-1 with four shutouts, a 2.62 GAA and a .908 save percentage in 24 starts. Edmonton is ninth in NHL scoring, scoring 3.23 goals per game this season.

Allen turned aside 23 of 24 shots in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Allen rebounded with a solid performance Sunday after allowing a total of eight goals in back-to-back losses. The New Brunswick native improved to 10-13-1 with a .910 save percentage and a 2.62 GAA over 24 appearances in 2024-25. Now that Jacob Markstrom is healthy, the 34-year-old Allen is back to serving as the No. 2 netminder, though the former is winless in three starts since returning from a knee injury.

Allen will defend the road net versus the Flyers on Sunday, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has one win in his last five outings, allowing 15 goals on 163 shots and earning one shutout. He has a 9-13-1 record with a 2.70 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 23 appearances this season. Philadelphia is tied for 18th in the league with 2.83 goals per game in 2024-25 and lost 4-1 to Seattle on Saturday.

Allen allowed five goals on 36 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Allen played nearly the whole game, but exited with 1:42 left in the third period after giving up the fifth goal, three of which came in a span of 4:04. There was no report of an injury following the contest, so it's safe to assume the 34-year-old netminder is good to go for the remainder of the road trip. Allen is now 9-13-1 with a 2.70 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 23 appearances. Jacob Markstrom (knee) is on the trip, but it's unclear if he'll be ready to go in time to start one of the Devils' next two games, which are in a back-to-back set this weekend with stops in Utah on Saturday and Vegas on Sunday.

Allen is expected to start on the road versus the Avalanche on Wednesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen's time as the Devils' starter could be nearing a close since Jacob Markstrom (knee) has returned to practice. Over his last seven games, Allen is 3-4-0, with two of those wins being shutouts, but he's given up at least three goals in each of the other five contests. The 34-year-old will face a Colorado team with just 13 goals scored over its last six games, a span in which it has gone 3-3-0.

Allen made 22 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Stars on Saturday. He allowed three goals.

EDGE Analysis

Allen played well enough, but Casey DeSmith was all-world at the other end of the ice. He has to tip his cap to that kind of performance. Allen remains the lead 'tender with Jacob Markstrom (knee) out for a couple more weeks. Since Markstrom went down, Allen is 4-4-0 with two shutouts in seven starts. Those SO came against the Flyers and Habs, two sub-par teams, and his wins came against the Habs (two), Flyers and Bruins. He also lost against the Flyers and Sabres. Allen has allowed at least three goals in every other start. Honestly, that raises our anxiety a bit with the Devils facing the powerful Avs, Golden Knights, Stars and Jets in the next six outings.

Allen will be between the home pipes versus Dallas on Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has played very well since taking over the No. 1 spot from the injured Jacob Markstrom (knee), going 4-4-0 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.08 GAA and a .930 save percentage. Dallas has generated 3.27 goals per game in 2024-25, eighth in the NHL.

Allen stopped 34 shots in Saturday's 4-0 win over Montreal.

EDGE Analysis

Allen ended his two-game winless skid with a bang before the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Montreal outshot the Devils 14-6 in the second period and 12-7 in the third, but Allen shut the door for his fourth shutout of 2024-25. He has a 9-11-1 record with a 2.56 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 21 appearances this season. Allen has been superb between the pipes, and the Devils will continue to lean on him while Jacob Markstrom (knee) recovers.
