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.

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%.

Allen has been tremendous in two games (1-1-0) as a Devil, saving 69 of 73 combined shots (.945 SV%).

After being acquired before last week's trade deadline, Allen will make his Devils debut on Thursday night. Allen is currently sporting a .892 SV% and a career-worst 3.65 GAA through 21 games this season (6-12-3). The Devils enter action as +164 road underdogs against a Dallas Stars club that is 5-1-0 in their last six and is coming off a disappointing 4-3 loss to the Florida Panthers.
Speculation about the Devils acquiring a goalie all season was finally validated on Friday when they acquired Allen from the Montreal Canadiens for a conditional third-round pick that can become a second-round pick depending on games played. Allen is currently sporting a .892 SV% and a career-worst 3.65 GAA through 21 games this season (6-12-3).
The Canadiens will turn to Allen between the pipes as they attempt to snap a two-game losing skid on Tuesday. Allen is winless in his last five outings and has allowed four or more goals in three straight, including four on 24 shots (.833 SV%) in a 4-3 loss to the New Jersey Devils on February 24th. Allen and the Canadiens will visit a Nashville Predators club riding an eight-game winning streak.
After playing only once in a span of eight games, Allen will return to the crease for the second time in the last three games on Saturday. Allen allowed three goals on 27 shots (.889 SV%) in his last outing, a 4-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators. The Canadiens will face off against a Penguins club that defeated them 4-3 last month and is playing on the back end of a back-to-back.
