• Devils' Jake Allen: Had kitties' number all night long

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Allen made 25 saves in a 6-2 win over Florida on Thursday. He came into the game with a 2-8-0 record, 4.86 GAA and .865 save percentage against Florida, but he had the kitties' number all night long. Allen is 4-2-1 with two shutouts in seven starts overall this season (2.30 GAA and .916 save percentage). He's a consistently strong backup who should be deployed whenever he's in the blue paint.

• Devils' Jake Allen: First goalie off Thursday

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Allen was the first goalie to leave the ice Thursday, Devils play-by-play announcer Matt Loughlin reports, indicating he'll tend the twine on the road versus the Panthers. Allen has been used sparingly this season, logging just six games in which he posted a 3-2-1 record with a 2.35 GAA and two shutouts. Still, the veteran netminder's numbers are the best he's put up since 2019-20 when he was with St. Louis and registered a 2.15 GAA. If he can continue to perform well, he could grab a few starts away from Jacob Markstrom -- though he is unlikely to ever take over as the No. 1 option.

• Devils' Jake Allen: On wrong end of shutout

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Allen stopped 26 of 27 shots in Sunday's 1-0 loss to the Sharks. Allen was good, but Mackenzie Blackwood was better, posting a 44-save shutout against his former team. This was the fourth time in six outings Allen has allowed one goal or fewer, so he's a bit unlucky to be 3-2-1 on the year. He's added a 2.35 GAA and a .914 save percentage. He will continue to serve as backup to Jacob Markstrom, but it looks like Allen will play slightly more often than just in back-to-back sets -- he hasn't gone more than three games without an appearance.

• Devils' Jake Allen: Facing Sharks

  Allen will protect the home net Sunday versus San Jose, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site. Allen will get the second half of New Jersey's back-to-back after Jacob Markstrom played in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders. The 34-year-old Allen is coming off a 31-save shutout win over Edmonton on Monday. He has a 3-1-1 record with a 2.60 GAA and a .904 save percentage across five appearances this campaign. San Jose sits 31st in the league with 2.40 goals per game in 2024-25.

• Devils' Jake Allen: Posts 31-save shutout

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Allen stopped 31 shots en route to a shutout in Monday's 3-0 win over the Oilers. Allen delivered an impressive outing, which is something he desperately needed after conceding a combined 12 goals on 67 shots over his previous two appearances. Allen's been all over the place in the early going -- in addition to those two rough starts, he also posted a 20-save shutout against Utah on Oct. 14 and stopped 17 of 18 shots en route to a 3-1 win over Buffalo on Oct. 5. He should continue to operate as Jacob Markstrom's backup, meaning he won't see steady work between the pipes any time soon. After Allen's previous shutout, he still warmed the bench for New Jersey's subsequent three games, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Devils go back to Markstrom for Thursday's home tilt against Montreal.
