Devils' Jake Allen: Effective in win in Czechia

Allen made 17 saves in a 3-1 win over the Sabres on Saturday as part of the NHL Global Series in Czechia.

Allen wasn't tested much Saturday, with the shots being 37-18 in favor of the Devils. But he was strong when he needed to be. Allen has the skills to be a strong and busy backup behind Jacob Markstrom and a playoff-bound Devils squad. The 34-year-old Allen will be a great daily option who gets upward of 30 starts.
