Allen allowed three goals on 45 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
The Maple Leafs scored early in the first period on Allen and then absolutely peppered him for a total of 25 shots but he stood tall. At one point in the second period, the Devils were down 3-2 but Allen would not be denied for the win, finishing with a .933 save percentage. In six games with the Devils, Allen now has four wins and only 15 goals against. With the Devils winning four of their last five games and Allen as their No. 1, fantasy managers should be putting him in their lineup.

Allen made 20 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Senators on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It was his fourth consecutive start, and he allowed as many goals Saturday as he'd surrendered in his previous three games combined. Allen gave up a shorthanded goal that hit his pad and trickled through in the first period. His mates took a 2-1 lead with two goals within the first minute of play in the second before the Sens turned up the heat. They put three goals past Allen on four shots in a 4:55 span to start the second, and they never looked back. Ottawa found twine again at the midpoint of the third. Allen is trying to help his new team climb the wild-card mountain -- the Devils are six points behind the Red Wings for the Eastern Conference's second wild-card spot.

Allen made 18 saves in a 4-1 win over Winnipeg on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It was his third straight start. Allen has been better than advertised in four games with the Devils. He's 3-0-1 with a .946 save percentage in four starts with New Jersey. The team is six points out of a wild-card spot, and Allen could be a difference maker in the last dozen games. In fact, he already has been.

Allen will get the starting nod at home versus the Jets on Thursday, Devils' play-by-play announcer Bill Spaulding reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has been steady since joining the Devils at the trade deadline, giving up two goals in each of his three appearances. Even with the team also bringing in Kaapo Kahkonen, the veteran Allen figures to see the majority of the workload as New Jersey tries to make a late-season push for a playoff spot.

Allen made 36 saves in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old netminder has faced at least 36 shots in all three of his starts since joining New Jersey, but Allen seems to be thriving with the heavy workload. He's allowed only six goals on 111 shots (.946 save percentage) in a Devils sweater while going 2-1-0, and Allen appears to be set as the team's No. 1 goalie for the stretch run.

Allen will start Tuesday at home against Pittsburgh, per Dave Molinari of PittsburghHockeyNow.com.
EDGE Analysis
Allen stopped 34 of 36 shots in his last start against Vegas in a 3-1 loss Sunday. The 33-year-old has been exceptional with the Devils thus far, recording a .945 save percentage and stopping 69 of 74 shots. The Penguins have been heating up on offense with 16 goals over their last three games, so this could be a tough assignment for Allen.

Allen turned aside 34 of 36 in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights, with Vegas' final goal getting scored into an empty net.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old netminder held the home squad off the board for two periods, but goals by William Carrier and Jack Eichel in the third, and a lack of offensive support from the Devils, handed Allen the loss. He's had a solid start to his New Jersey tenure, allowing four goals on 73 shots over two starts, and Allen appears to be the team's top choice in the crease ahead of Kaapo Kahkonen or Nico Daws.
