On the front end of a back-to-back, the Devils will turn to Allen between the pipes for his second start of the young season in a Monday afternoon matchup against the Utah Hockey Club. Allen was solid in his first appearance of the season, saving 17 of 18 shots (.944 SV%) in a 3-1 victory against the Buffalo Sabres. Since being traded to the Devils late last season, Allen has posted a respectable 2.96 GAA and .902 SV% in 14 outings (7-6-1). New Jersey enters action as -161 home favorites against Utah.

Allen was traded to the Devils last March and went 6-6-1 with a 3.11 GAA and .900 SV% in 13 games. Over the last two seasons he has posted a pretty ugly .893 SV% across 76 games. With Jacob Markstrom starting the season opener on Friday, the Devils will turn to Allen in the second half of a back-to-back. New Jersey enter play as -140 favourites following yesterday’s 4-1 win.

The Devils will turn to Allen for the fifth time in the last six games on Monday against the New York Islanders.

The Devils enter action as +104 home underdogs.

The Devils will turn to Allen for a third consecutive game when they host the Penguins on Tuesday night. Allen allowed three goals on 34 shots enroute to a 5-2 loss to the Sabres on Friday. The 33-year-old netminder owns a 4-3-0 record and a .923 SV% in seven starts since being acquired from the Canadiens. He draws a favourable matchup on Tuesday with the Devils being -170 favourites against a tired Penguins team that will be playing their second game in as many nights.

The Devils will turn right back to Allen after his outstanding performance in Toronto on Tuesday. The 33-year-old netminder stopped 42 of the 45 shots he faced as the Devils downed the Maple Leafs by a score of 6-3. Allen has posted a 4-2-0 record and an impressive .925 SV% across six starts with the Devils since being acquired from the Canadiens. He's got a great chance of staying in the win column on Friday as the Devils find themselves as -130 favourites in Buffalo.

Despite Kaapo Kahkonen recording a shutout in a 4-0 win over the New York Islanders on Sunday, the Devils will return to Allen in the crease on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Allen has been solid since joining the Devils but had his first misstep in his last outing, allowing five goals on 25 shots (.800 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators. The Devils enter action as +127 road underdogs against the Maple Leafs.

The Devils will return to Allen in the crease for the third straight game on Thursday when they face off against the Winnipeg Jets. Allen has been excellent since being acquired in a pre-deadline trade, allowing only six total goals in three games (2-1-0), and posting a tremendous .946 SV%. That said, the Devils enter action as +109 home underdogs against a Jets club that has outscored their opposition 16-3 during a three-game winning streak.

The Devils will turn to Allen for the third time in the last four games since he made his team debut less than a week ago. Allen has been tremendous in two games (1-1-0) as a Devil, saving 69 of 73 combined shots (.945 SV%). The Devils' offence has been limited to only one goal in three of their last four games (1-3-0), but they enter action against the Penguins as -125 home favourites.
