EDGE Analysis

Vegas dominated the game after a scoreless first period, and New Jersey wound up getting outshot 40-15 on the night. Given the circumstances, Allen did well just to keep the final score close. The veteran netminder has shouldered a heavy workload while Jacob Markstrom (knee) has been on the shelf, seeing action in six of the last seven games and going 3-3-0 with a 2.47 GAA and .921 save percentage. Markstrom may not be back until sometime in March, but Allen will be able to recharge his batteries during the break for the 4 Nationals Face-Off.

Allen will get the nod as he looks to bounce back from giving up four goals on 27 shots to the Sabres on Sunday. The 34-year-old netminder has won three of his last six outings. The Golden Knights have scored just 14 goals over their last six games, going 1-3-2 in that span.

Allen has lost two of his last three starts, but he was solid across six appearances in January, posting a .927 save percentage and a 1.81 GAA. Overall, the 34-year-old owns an 8-10-1 record, .905 save percentage and 2.68 GAA through 19 appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Allen garnered his third shutout, and second in his last four games Wednesday, turning aside 24 shots in a 5-0 win over Philadelphia.

Allen turned aside 24 shots in Wednesday's 5-0 win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

It was the third shutout of the season for the 34-year-old netminder, but his first since Nov. 4. Allen has held down the fort well since Jacob Markstrom was sidelined by a sprained MCL, going 3-1-0 with a 1.66 GAA and .938 save percentage while appearing in four straight games. The Devils don't play again until Sunday and have no back-to-back games before the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, so Allen may not need to be spelled by backup Isaac Poulter during that stretch.

EDGE Analysis

Philly took a 3-0 lead early in the second period, and while Allen kept his focus and gave New Jersey a chance to mount a comeback, the visitors couldn't find an equalizer. It was the veteran netminder's first loss in three outings since Jacob Markstrom (knee) was injured, and over five appearances in January, Allen has delivered an impressive 2.21 GAA and .912 save percentage.

Allen will start Monday's road game against the Flyers, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has picked up wins in his last two outings, and he'll attempt to remain effective against the Flyers, who rank 16th in the NHL with 2.94 goals per game. Over 16 appearances this season, Allen has gone 7-8-1 with a 2.67 GAA and .902 save percentage.

Allen stopped 29 of 32 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has won back-to-back appearances for the first time since recording wins Nov. 14 and Nov. 23 against the Panthers and Capitals, respectively. The 34-year-old has started in three of New Jersey's last four games, going 2-1-0 with a 1.89 GAA and a .923 save percentage in that span. Three games is not enough to draw any long-term conclusions, but he seems to be overcoming the struggles he had earlier in the year. Expect Allen to remain New Jersey's top option between the pipes as long as Jacob Markstrom (knee) remains out, which will be the case until late February or early March at a minimum.
