Devils' Jake Allen: Will start Wednesday
Allen will get the starting nod Wednesday on the road versus the Avalanche, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.
Allen will handle the second half of the back-to-back after Connor Hellebuyck made his debut in a win over the Stars on Tuesday. With the arrival of Hellebuyck, Allen's playing time is poised to decline significantly. He has gone 5-2-0 with a 2.84 GAA and an .886 save percentage over seven games this season.

Devils' Jake Allen: Barely tested in win
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.

Devils' Jake Allen: Defending crease Saturday
Allen will protect the home net against the Kings on Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Allen is coming off a 31-save performance in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Colorado. He has a 4-2-0 record, a 3.15 GAA and an .883 save percentage in six appearances this season. Remi Poirier will serve as Allen's backup, as Connor Hellebuyck (not injury related) isn't available to play yet. Los Angeles (2-4-2) is tied for 27th in the league with 2.50 goals per game this campaign.

Devils' Jake Allen: Game not in doubt until it was
Allen made 31 saves in a 4-3 win over Colorado on Tuesday. It was his second straight start.
It was a big, yet bizarre night for Allen. He was honored prior to the game for playing in 500 NHL games. And he was especially sharp in the third period when he made 13 saves. The game never really felt in doubt until it did, when the Avs suddenly poured kerosene onto the fire in the last four minutes of the game and potted two goals to make it seem close. Allen went toe-to-toe with the Avs stars and emerged victorious. He's 4-2-0 with three wins in his last four starts. But he has also allowed four or more goals in half of his six starts. And Allen's 3.15 GAA and .883 save percentage both sit below the current NHL averages (2.91 GAA and .892 save percentage). It's still early, but he put in an above average performance last season. We're watching this closely.

Devils' Jake Allen: Defending home crease
Allen will draw the home start in Tuesday's clash against the Avalanche, per Mike Morreale of NHL.com.
Allen will be honored ahead of Tuesday's game to celebrate his recent milestone of playing in 500 NHL regular-season games. The 36-year-old netminder is off to a solid start to the new season, where he's compiled a 3-2-0 record, a 3.18 GAA and an .876 save percentage. While his save percentage leaves room for improvement, he's won two of his last three appearances and is slowly trending upward. He'll face a tough test in his big night against the Avalanche on Tuesday, however, making him a difficult fantasy option to trust.

Devils' Jake Allen: Falls to Caps
Allen made 21 saves in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals.
A tough second period for the veteran netminder saw Washington score three times on 12 shots, tipping the scales in the contest. It's the third time in five starts this season that Allen has been beaten four or more times, leaving him with a 3.18 GAA, an .876 save percentage and a 3-2-0 record.

Devils' Jake Allen: Starting against Capitals
Allen will defend the road net against Washington on Saturday, according to Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site.
Allen is coming off a 23-save performance in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over Detroit. He has a 3-1-0 record and has stopped 92 of 104 shots in four appearances this season. Washington (4-3-0) sits 10th in the league with 3.43 goals per game this campaign.

Devils' Jake Allen: Hangs on for OT win
Allen made 23 saves in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.
The two teams battled back and forth in regulation, with neither ever holding more than a one-goal lead, but Allen and the Devils came out on top after Jack Hughes got sprung for a breakaway early in OT and didn't miss. Allen has started four of New Jersey's six games to begin the season, going 3-1-0 with a 2.98 GAA and .885 save percentage.

Devils' Jake Allen: Between pipes Tuesday
Allen will tend the twine for Tuesday's road tilt with the Red Wings, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Allen comes into Tuesday's contest well rested after Nico Daws took the first game of the Devils' back-to-back against Ottawa on Monday. In his three outings this year, the 36-year-old Allen is sporting a 2-1-0 record, 2.65 GAA and .896 save percentage. Barring an injury, Allen could see action in more than 40 games for the first time since 2022-23 when he was with Montreal.

Devils' Jake Allen: Sharp in Saturday's win
Allen made 20 saves in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
A Linus Karlsson power-play tally early in the first period was the only puck that got past Allen in his 500th career NHL game. The 36-year-old has started three of the Devils' first four games this season, going 2-1-0 with an .896 save percentage. However, he will likely split the workload fairly evenly with Nico Daws over the long haul -- Allen hasn't appeared in more than 42 games in a season since 2018-19 with the Blues.

Devils' Jake Allen: Defending crease Saturday
Allen will protect the home net against Vancouver on Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Allen will become just the 86th goalie in league history to play in 500 NHL games. In the 2026-27 campaign, he has allowed seven goals on 56 shots in two appearances (1-1-0). Despite a 2-3-0 start, Vancouver has amassed 21 goals in five games this season.

Devils' Jake Allen: OK but not great in loss
Allen made 26 saves in a 5-3 loss to Utah on Tuesday.
Allen has started 1-1-0 with a 3.47 GAA and .875 save percentage. He has been OK, but not great so far, just like the entire team. Head coach Sheldon Keefe showed his frustration post-game: "The goals against, they weren't even structure-related but habit-related. Stopping the puck, don't expose good ice, don't get beat back to your net. Very fundamental things that we just have to do a better job of." Allen isn't the kind of goalie who can carry a team that struggles, so the whole squad needs to clean up its game before his fantasy value can climb.

Devils' Jake Allen: Defending home crease Tuesday
Allen will start Tuesday's home game against the Mammoth, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Allen drew the Opening Night start at home against the Flyers on Thursday and allowed two goals on 25 shots during the 3-2 overtime victory. He'll start for the second time in the Devils' first three games of the year Tuesday.

Devils' Jake Allen: Nabs OT win over Philly
Allen made 23 saves Thursday in a 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.
Allen had no chance on the first goal. The Flyers had the extra attacker out on a delayed penalty and put massive Rasmus Ristolainen on the top edge of his crease. Allen didn't even see the puck. The Devils net will be a bit of mess early this season with backups Nico Daws and Remi Poirier both needing to clear waivers to be sent down to the AHL. That will suppress Allen's starts, but that might be a good thing at age 36. Last season, he compiled a 17-17-2 record with a 2.74 GAA and a strong .904 save percentage in 37 starts. Unfortunately, that will also diminish Allen's fantasy value overall.

Devils' Jake Allen: Gets starting nod Thursday
Allen will be between the home pipes against the Flyers on Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Allen will have the benefit of facing a Philadelphia squad that is on the second night of a back-to-back, though it will be motivated to bounce back from a 7-0 rout at the hands of the Penguins. For his part, Allen went 17-17-2 with a 2.74 GAA and one shutout in 37 regular-season games last year. If he can stay healthy, the veteran backstop should be capable of reaching the 20-win mark for the first time since 2017-18 when he was with St. Louis.

Devils' Jake Allen: Beaten once in preseason win
Allen stopped 14 of 15 shots in Saturday's 4-1 preseason win over the Islanders.
Allen carried a shutout deep into the third period after New Jersey built a 4-0 advantage through 40 minutes, but the Islanders scored their lone goal via Simon Holmstrom with only 4:39 remaining. Allen played the entire contest, and ti seems the veteran will open the 2026-27 season as the No. 1 goaltender for the Devils, beginning with the season opener against the Flyers on Thursday, Oct. 1.

Devils' Jake Allen: In goal Saturday
Allen will be between the pipes for Saturday's road clash with the Islanders, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Allen looks set to be the Opening Night starter when the Devils square off with the Flyers on Oct. 1. In 37 regular-season appearances last year, the veteran backstop went 17-17-2 with a 2.74 GAA and one shutout. As long as Allen can hold on to the No. 1 job, he should be capable of reaching the 20-win mark for the first time since 2017-18.

Devils' Jake Allen: Faces only three shots in preseason debut
Allen stopped all three shots he faced in Monday's 3-2 preseason win over the Rangers.
Allen played the first period of Monday's contest before giving way to Nico Daws for the rest of the game. Unless the Devils bring in another netminder at some point during the 2026-27 season, Allen should receive the bulk of the starts for a team that is expected to return to the postseason after missing out in 2025-26.

Devils' Jake Allen: Poised to start Monday
Allen is expected to protect the home net in Monday's exhibition contest against the Rangers, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Allen is poised to get the nod after being the first goalie off at Monday's morning skate. He posted a 17-17-2 record with one shutout, a 2.74 GAA and a .903 save percentage in 37 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season. The veteran netminder could begin the 2026-27 campaign as the Devils' primary option between the pipes, but he could face competition for starts from Nico Daws and David Rittich.

Devils' Jake Allen: Earns win vs. Detroit
Allen stopped 25 of 28 shots in Saturday's win over the Red Wings.
Allen earned the win here, but he continues to be an underwhelming fantasy performer, as this was his third straight game with a save percentage below the .900 mark. Allen will work as the Devils' No. 1 goaltender after Jacob Markstrom (undisclosed) was shut down for the final three games of the regular season. However, Nico Daws has been announced as the starter for Sunday's game against Ottawa, lining up Allen to start in the regular-season finale against the Bruins on Tuesday.
