Allen will defend the road net against Montreal on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen stopped all 16 shots he faced in relief in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Boston after Jacob Markstrom (knee) suffered an injury. With Markstrom out 4-6 weeks, Allen should see plenty of starts. The 34-year-old Allen has a 6-8-1 record with two shutouts, a 2.66 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 15 appearances. Montreal sits 14th in the league with 3.02 goals per game in 2024-25.

Allen stopped all 16 shots he faced in relief of Jacob Markstrom (lower body) in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Markstrom is set to miss time, so Allen is likely to see a heavier workload for a while. This was Allen's first win since Nov. 23 -- he had lost all six of his appearances from Nov. 30 to Jan. 18. The 34-year-old netminder has done alright in limited action with a 6-8-1 record, a 2.66 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 15 games played. The Devils' next game is against one of Allen's former teams, as they're in Montreal on Saturday.

Allen stopped 15 of 17 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Philadelphia. The third goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

At the 12:44 mark of the third period, Allen allowed the game-winner to Bobby Brink during a Philadelphia power play. The 34-year-old Allen has lost his last six outings to drop to 5-8-1 this season.

Allen is down to 5-7-1 with a 2.83 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 13 games this season. The Devils continue their road trip Saturday in San Jose, but that will likely be a start for Jacob Markstrom.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has lost his past four appearances while allowing 16 goals on 114 shots (.860 save percentage). He's 5-6-1 with a 2.89 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 12 outings in 2024-25. The Kings rank 12th in goals per game with 3.14.

Allen allowed four goals on 40 shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Carolina. The fifth marker was an empty-netter.

Ondrej Palat gave New Jersey a 2-1 lead early in the third period, but the Canes exploded with four goals to complete the comeback. Allen has surrendered at least three goals in three consecutive losses, and he hasn't won a game since Nov. 23.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will look to end his three-game losing streak in the second half of New Jersey's back-to-back after Jacob Markstrom played in Friday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes. The 34-year-old Allen has allowed 12 goals on 74 shots (.838 save percentage) over his past three outings. Carolina ranks fifth in goals per game with 3.43.

Allen stopped 16 of 19 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets, with Columbus' last goal coming into an empty net.

EDGE Analysis

New Jersey outshot the home squad 42-20 on the night, but the Devils' offense couldn't solve Elvis Merzlikins until late in the third period, at which point they were already down 3-0. Allen has lost three straight starts, giving up 12 goals on only 74 shots (.838 save percentage) during that span, and his last win came back on Nov. 23. The 34-year-old is on the last year of his current contract, and if he continues to struggle the Devils may look to the trade market for a new backup to Jacob Markstrom.

Allen will be between the pipes on the road versus Columbus on Thursday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will be in the crease for the first time since Dec. 8 against Colorado, in part due to an upper-body injury. Over his last five appearances, the 34-year-old backstop has recorded a 2-3-0 record, 2.89 GAA and .896 save percentage. Even with Allen healthy again, he figures to remain the No. 2 option behind Jacob Markstrom this year, which will limit his viability in fantasy contests.
