Allen made 12 saves Saturday in a 3-1 win over the Kings.
The only goal came on a bang-bang play in the second when Scott Laughton took a quick pass from behind the goal line and wired a shot from the left hash marks. Allen will be the go-to guy until newcomer Connor Hellebuyck (not injury related) is ready to play. Allen is 5-2-0 with a 2.84 GAA and .886 save percentage. His GSAx (goals saved above expected) was -3.7 heading into Saturday's game, but his numbers should improve in a backup role.
