Allen will be looking for a bounce-back effort after dropping his previous outing 5-2 while stopping only 25 of 30 shots (.833 SV%) in his worst start of the early season.

Minnesota has struggled this season (1-3-1) and is also coming off a loss as they dropped their last outing 4-3 in overtime to the Boston Bruins. They currently rank last in the NHL in GA/GP with 5.4 GAA per game.
