Allen (upper body) will be with the Devils as they leave for a two-game road trip and will be available if needed, the team announced Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen is far from a lock to start either Tuesday or Thursday against the Blues or Blue Jackets, respectively, considering Jacob Markstrom has gone 5-0-1 in his last six outings. Still, with Allen healthy, he should serve as the backup when available, which would likely lead to Nico Daws being shipped down to the minors.

Allen (upper body) is out of the lineup Saturday versus Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Jacob Markstrom will get the start in goal for the Devils with Isaac Poulter as the backup. Allen is 5-4-1 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.74 GAA and a .900 save percentage. Allen could return as early as Tuesday in St. Louis.

Allen (upper body) will not be an option against Los Angeles on Thursday after head coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters, " [Allen] skated this morning, which is positive. He won't backup tonight; we'll see where he's at going into practice tomorrow and make a determination from there," per Mike Morreale of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has played in just two of the Devils' last eight contests, dropping both results while posting a 4.75 GAA. Youngster Isaac Poulter will remain up with the NHL club to serve as the backup behind Jacob Markstrom heading into Thursday's tilt and beyond.

Allen will not be available versus Toronto on Tuesday due to an upper-body injury, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Allen is not expected to be sidelined long-term, the Devils did need to call up Isaac Poulter from the minors to serve as the backup to Jacob Markstrom versus the Leafs. In 10 appearances this season, the 34-year-old Allen is 5-4-1 with a 2.74 GAA, which would be his best mark since 2020-21 if that numbers hold throughout the rest of the campaign. Despite his decent run of form, Allen remains firmly entrenched behind Markstrom for the starting job in New Jersey.

Allen (undisclosed) is questionable for Tuesday's home game against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Allen surrendered three goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to Colorado. He has a 5-4-1 record with a 2.74 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 10 appearances this season. Allen is being evaluated Monday to determine if he can dress as the backup behind Jacob Markstrom against the Maple Leafs. If the 34-year-old Allen is unavailable, New Jersey will probably summon a goaltender from the minors.

Allen allowed three goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Allen received no help in this contest, taking his second consecutive defeat. The Devils did well to keep the Avalanche's best players mostly quiet, but the middle-six made the difference. Allen is now 5-4-1 with a 2.74 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 10 starts this season. Jacob Markstrom is likely to get the start Tuesday against the Maple Leafs.

Allen will guard the home net Sunday against Colorado, Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will make just his second start in seven games, having allowed six goals on 32 shots in a loss to Washington in his last appearance. Overall, the 34-year-old netminder is 5-3-1 with a .903 save percentage and 2.70 GAA while backing up Jacob Markstrom this season.

Allen stopped 26 shots in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

While there wasn't much the veteran netminder could do on Washington's three power-play tallies in the second period, the eventual game-winning goal in the third was largely Allen's fault. He attempted to handle the puck behind his own net on a dump-in, coughed it up to Aliaksei Protas and could only watch helplessly as Pierre-Luc Dubois took advantage of the wide-open cage. The six goals allowed weren't even a season high for Allen -- he coughed up eight against the Lightning on Oct. 22 -- but on the season he still has a respectable 2.70 GAA and .903 save percentage in nine appearances to go along with a 5-3-1 record.

Allen will protect the home net versus Washington on Saturday, according to Daniel Amoia of The Hockey Writers.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will get the second half of New Jersey's back-to-back after Jacob Markstrom played in Friday's 5-4 win over Detroit. The 34-year-old Allen has won his last two outings, including a 23-save performance in a 3-2 triumph over the Capitals last Saturday. He has a 5-2-1 record with two shutouts, a 2.26 GAA and a .916 save percentage through eight appearances this season. Washington ranks first in the league with 4.13 goals per game in 2024-25.

Allen allowed two goals on 25 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Allen allowed one goal at even strength and one on the power play, but he was able to shut the door on the Caps to pick up his third win in his last four starts. The veteran netminder hasn't conceded more than two goals in any of those four appearances, all of which have come in November. Allen allowed 12 goals across his last two outings of October, so he appears to have turned a corner in his first full season as a Devil. The 34-year-old is up to a 5-2-1 record, .921 save percentage and 2.26 GAA through eight appearances.
