Jake Allen - NHL News & Rumors

Tough night in Columbus Allen stopped 16 of 19 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets, with Columbus' last goal coming into an empty net.

Impact New Jersey out-shot the home squad 42-20 on the night, but the Devils' offense couldn't solve Elvis Merzlikins until late in the third period, at which point they were already down 3-0. Allen has lost three straight starts, giving up 12 goals on only 74 shots (.838 save percentage) during that span, and his last win came back on Nov. 23. The 34-year-old is on the last year of his current contract, and if he continues to struggle the Devils may look to the trade market for a new backup to Jacob Markstrom.

Gets starting nod Thursday Allen will be between the pipes on the road versus Columbus on Thursday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact Allen will be in the crease for the first time since Dec. 8 against Colorado, in part due to an upper-body injury. In his last five appearances, the 34-year-old backstop is sporting a 2-3-0 record, 2.89 GAA and .896 save percentage. Even with Allen healthy again, he figures to remain the No. 2 option behind Jacob Markstrom this year, which will limit his viability in fantasy contests.

Traveling with team Allen (upper body) will be with the Devils as they leave for a two-game road trip and will be available if needed, the team announced Monday.

Impact Allen is far from a lock to start either Tuesday or Thursday against the Blues or Blue Jackets, respectively, considering Jacob Markstrom having gone 5-0-1 in his last six outings. Still, with Allen healthy, he should serve as the backup when available, which would likely see Nico Daws shipped down to the minors.

Not available Saturday Allen (upper body) is out of the lineup Saturday versus Chicago, according to as.

Impact Jacob Markstrom will get the start in goal for the Devils with Isaac Poulter as the backup. Allen is 5-4-1 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.74 GAA and a .900 save percentage. Allen could return as early as Tuesday in St. Louis.

Impact Allen has played in just two of the Devils' last eight contests, dropping both results while posting a 4.75 GAA. Youngster Isaac Poulter will remain up with the NHL club to serve as the backup behind Jacob Markstrom heading into Thursday's tilt and beyond.

Dealing with upper-body injury Allen will not be available versus Toronto on Tuesday due to an upper-body injury, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

Impact While Allen is not expected to be sidelined long-term, the Devils did need to call up Isaac Poulter from the minors to serve as the backup to Jacob Markstrom versus the Leafs. In 10 appearances this season, the 34-year-old Allen is 5-4-1 with a 2.74 GAA, which would be his best mark since 2020-21 if that numbers hold throughout the rest of the campaign. Despite his decent run of form, Allen remains firmly entrenched behind Markstrom for the starting job in New Jersey.

Questionable for Tuesday Allen (undisclosed) is questionable for Tuesday's home game against Toronto.

Impact Allen surrendered three goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to Colorado. He has a 5-4-1 record with a 2.74 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 10 appearances this season. Allen is being evaluated Monday to determine if he dress as the backup behind Jacob Markstrom against the Maple Leafs. If the 34-year-old Allen is unavailable, New Jersey will probably summon a goaltender from the minors.

On wrong side of shutout Allen allowed three goals on 22 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Allen received no help in this contest, taking his second consecutive defeat. The Devils did well to keep the Avalanche's best players mostly quiet, but the middle-six made the difference. Allen is now 5-4-1 with a 2.74 GAA and a .903 save percentage over 10 starts this season. Jacob Markstrom is likely to get the start Tuesday against the Maple Leafs.

Starting vs. Avs Allen will guard the home net Sunday against Colorado, Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News reports.

Impact It'll be just the second start in seven games for Allen, who allowed six goals on 32 shots in a loss to Washington in his last appearance. Overall, the 34-year-old netminder is 5-3-1 with a .903 save percentage and 2.70 GAA while backing up Jacob Markstrom this season.

Shaky in Saturday's loss Allen stopped 26 shots in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Capitals.

Impact While there wasn't much the veteran netminder could do on Washington's three power-play tallies in the second period, the eventual game-winning goal in the third was largely Allen's fault. He attempted to handle the puck behind his own net on a dump-in, coughed it up to Aliaksei Protas and could only watch helplessly as Pierre-Luc Dubois took advantage of the wide-open cage. The six goals allowed weren't even a season high for Allen -- he coughed up eight against the Lightning on Oct. 22 -- but on the season he still has a respectable 2.70 GAA and .903 save percentage in nine appearances to go along with a 5-3-1 record.

Defending crease Saturday Allen will protect the home net versus Washington on Saturday, according to Daniel Amoia of The Hockey Writers.

Impact Allen will get the second half of New Jersey's back-to-back after Jacob Markstrom played in Friday's 5-4 win over Detroit. The 34-year-old Allen has won his last two outings, including a 23-save performance in a 3-2 triumph over the Capitals last Saturday. He has a 5-2-1 record with two shutouts, a 2.26 GAA and a .916 save percentage through eight appearances this season. Washington ranks first in the league with 4.13 goals per game in 2024-25.

Solid in road victory Allen allowed two goals on 25 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Capitals.

Impact Allen allowed one goal at even strength and one on the power play, but he was able to shut the door on the Caps to pick up his third win in his last four starts. The veteran netminder hasn't conceded more than two goals in any of those four appearances, all of which have come in November. Allen allowed 12 goals across his last two outings of October, so he appears to have turned a corner in his first full season as a Devil. The 34-year-old is up to a 5-2-1 record, .921 save percentage and 2.26 GAA through eight appearances.
