Allen was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, per Mark Masters of TSN, putting him on track to protect the road goal versus the Maple Leafs on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Allen wasn't great in his last start Tuesday against Toronto, surrendering four goals on 38 shots en route to a 5-2 home defeat. He'll try to bounce back in the second half of a home-and-home set against the same talented Toronto team Thursday.

Allen made 32 saves in a 5-2 loss to Toronto on Tuesday. He allowed four goals.
EDGE Analysis
Allen did all he could upon his arrival from Montreal, but ultimately his mates couldn't score enough to carry the team to the postseason. They were eliminated with the loss. Allen is 5-5-1 in 10 starts with the Devils, delivering a 2.86 GAA and .911 save percentage in that span. At this point, Allen is expected to be part of New Jersey's goalie tandem in 2024-25, especially with Montreal retaining 50 percent of his $3.85 million salary.

Allen was spotted in the starter's crease and will get the nod at home against the Leafs on Tuesday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was excellent in his last start, stopping 29 of 30 shots in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Predators. The 33-year-old has done well with his new team, recording a .913 save percentage and a 5-4-1 record in 10 starts. He will have a tough matchup against Toronto, which is 14-5-6 on the road.

Allen allowed one goal on 30 shots in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
After starter Kaapo Kahkonen let in a goal and exited the game just 8:39 into the first frame, Allen filled in between the pipes and gave his team a chance for the win all night. He turned aside all 30 shots - including two in overtime - that he faced except for one in the third period. Allen only has two wins in his last six games and has allowed 20 goals over that span. With only four games left on the season and four points out of a playoff spot, it is looking dim for the Devils hopes. They host Toronto on Tuesday.

Allen made 25 saves in a 4-3 win over Ottawa on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was the difference maker, especially in the last 10 minutes of the game when the Devils faltered and the Sens turned up the heat. Allen is 4-3-0 in his last seven starts, but his save percentage in that span is a queasy .895. But he's been good enough to get the Devils to within five points of the Pens for the second wild card. Allen has done his part.

Allen stopped 15 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh, with the Penguins' final shot getting scored into an empty net.
EDGE Analysis
The Devils actually led 3-1 heading into the third period, but Allen couldn't stop Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin from powering a comeback as the two future Hall of Famers scored two goals each in the final frame. After a hot start to his tenure in New Jersey, the 33-year-old Allen has given up 16 goals on 124 shots (.871 save percentage) over his last four starts.

Allen stopped 31 of 34 shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Sabres. The last two goals were empty-netters.
EDGE Analysis
The Devils built up a 2-0 lead in the first period, but Tage Thompson's natural hat trick against Allen erased that advantage. This dropped Allen to 4-3-0 with 18 goals allowed over seven contests since he joined the Devils. For the season, the 33-year-old netminder has gone 10-15-3 with a 3.38 GAA and a .900 save percentage over 28 starts. The Devils are off until a back-to-back that begins Tuesday at home versus the Penguins and finishes with a road game versus the Rangers on Wednesday.
