EDGE Analysis

This will be the 34-year-old's first start outside of a back-to-back set, as Jacob Markstrom started the previous three games. The Lightning have scored 18 goals over their first five contests this season.

Allen had a 20-save shutout in Monday's 3-0 win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
After a scoreless first period, the Devils broke the ice with a Seamus Casey power-play tally early in the second, and it was all the support Allen would need. The 34-year-old netminder recorded his 25th career shutout and first since Feb. 14, 2023, when he was with Montreal. Jacob Markstrom is locked in as the No. 1 goalie, but Allen is looking very comfortable early, allowing just one goal on 38 shots in his first two appearances -- both New Jersey wins.

Allen made 17 saves in a 3-1 win over the Sabres on Saturday as part of the NHL Global Series in Czechia.
EDGE Analysis
Allen wasn't tested much Saturday, with the shots being 37-18 in favor of the Devils. But he was strong when he needed to be. Allen has the skills to be a strong and busy backup behind Jacob Markstrom and a playoff-bound Devils squad. The 34-year-old Allen will be a great daily option who gets upward of 30 starts.

Allen made 27 saves in a 6-5 win over Toronto on Thursday.

Neither Allen nor Ilya Samsonov played well, but then again, neither goalie got great support from his team. Allen is 6-5-1 with a 3.04 GAA and .906 save percentage in 11 starts with the Devils.
