Allen made 35 saves in a 6-2 win over the Stars on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Allen made his first start since being acquired in a trade from the Montreal Canadiens on March 8 and he did not disappoint. It started off shaky as he allowed two goals on the first three shots but then kicked aside the remaining 34 sent his way, including all six on the power play. The Devils are hopeful that Allen can be the difference maker as they push for one of the Wild Card spots with only 16 games remaining for New Jersey.

Allen is still working through visa issues and won't be available versus the Rangers on Monday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen will hope to be ready in time to suit up in Thursday's clash with Dallas, though nothing has been confirmed at this point. With Allen out of the lineup against New York, look for fellow trade-deadline acquisition Kaapo Kahkonen to get the nod, though Nico Daws is also still on the roster.

Allen (not injury related) practiced with the Devils on Sunday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen missed Saturday's game while resolving work visa issues, though he appears ready to go ahead of the Devils' road matchup with the Rangers on Monday. Allen went 6-12-3 with an .892 save percentage and 3.65 GAA with Montreal this season. He figures to share the crease in New Jersey with Nico Daws and fellow recent acquisition Kaapo Kahkonen.

Allen won't be in the lineup Saturday versus Carolina due to work visa issues.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was dealt from Montreal to New Jersey on Friday, and the Canadian netminder will need an American visa before he is allowed to work in the United States. Allen will likely be the No. 1 goaltender for the Devils once he is cleared to play. He was 6-12-3 with a 3.65 GAA and an .892 save percentage in 21 appearances for the Canadiens before the trade.

Allen was traded from Montreal to New Jersey on Friday in exchange for a third-round pick that could turn into a second-rounder depending on how many games Allen plays down the stretch, per Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Allen hasn't been at his best this year, recording an .892 save percentage and a 6-12-3 record with Montreal. The 33-year-old could emerge as the No. 1 option in New Jersey, as goaltending has been a problem for the Devils, potentially making him an interesting pickup for fantasy managers.

Allen made 25 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over the Predators on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Predators were riding an eight-game winning streak that Allen and the Canadiens ended on Tuesday night. It did not look good for Montreal as they played from behind for the majority of the game but they played scrappy right up until Nick Suzuki ended it 17 seconds into the extra frame. Allen had not won a game since Jan. 15 but he was able to backstop his team with an .893 save percentage. When you consider the amount of wins by Montreal and Allen, fantasy managers might want to consider streaming other goaltenders from stronger teams depending on their matchups.

Allen will defend the road net Tuesday versus Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has gone 0-4-1 in his past five outings, having allowed 21 goals on 154 shots during that span. He has registered a 5-12-3 record this campaign with a 3.69 GAA and an .892 save percentage. The red-hot Predators will enter Tuesday's matchup riding an eight-game winning streak.

Allen stopped 20 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder kept New Jersey off the board in the first period, but things began to go sideways for Montreal early in the second after Timo Meier was left all alone to tip the puck into a wide-open cage. Allen is 0-4-1 over his last five starts with a rough .864 save percentage, but he'll likely maintain a regular spot in the Habs' three-headed goalie committee as the team attempts to move him before the trade deadline.

EDGE Analysis
It has been over a month since Allen last picked up a victory. Since Jan. 15, he has allowed 17 goals on 130 shots en route to a record of 0-3-1. Overall, Allen is 5-11-3 with a 3.66 GAA and an .894 save percentage in 19 appearances this season. He is part of a three-man goaltending group in Montreal, sharing time with Sam Montembeault and Cayden Primeau. The Devils are averaging 32.1 shots on goal per game this campaign, 10th in the NHL.
