Allen ended his two-game winless skid with a bang before the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Devils' Jake Allen: Overwhelmed by Vegas
Rotowire
Allen stopped a season-high 37 shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Vegas dominated the game after a scoreless first period, and New Jersey wound up getting outshot 40-15 on the night. Given the circumstances, Allen did well just to keep the final score close. The veteran netminder has shouldered a heavy workload while Jacob Markstrom (knee) has been on the shelf, seeing action in six of the last seven games and going 3-3-0 with a 2.47 GAA and .921 save percentage. Markstrom may not be back until sometime in March, but Allen will be able to recharge his batteries during the break for the 4 Nationals Face-Off.

Devils' Jake Allen: Blitzed early in road loss
Rotowire
Allen surrendered four goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.
New Jersey almost pulled off the comeback Sunday, but Buffalo's three-goal first period was too much to surmount.

Overall, the 34-year-old owns an 8-10-1 record, .905 save percentage and 2.68 GAA through 19 appearances.

Devils' Jake Allen: Facing Sabres on Sunday
Rotowire
Allen will be between the visiting pipes in Buffalo on Sunday, according to James Nichols of NJD Hockey Now.
Allen garnered his third shutout, and second in his last four games Wednesday, turning aside 24 shots in a 5-0 win over Philadelphia. Allen has taken over as the Devils' No. 1 goaltender because Jacob Markstrom is on the shelf for another 3-5 weeks due to a sprained MCL. The Sabres are averaging 3.10 goals per game, 11th in the NHL this season.

Devils' Jake Allen: Stymies Flyers for third shutout
Rotowire
Allen turned aside 24 shots in Wednesday's 5-0 win over Philadelphia.
It was the third shutout of the season for the 34-year-old netminder, but his first since Nov. 4. Allen has held down the fort well since Jacob Markstrom was sidelined by a sprained MCL, going 3-1-0 with a 1.66 GAA and .938 save percentage while appearing in four straight games. The Devils don't play again until Sunday and have no back-to-back games before the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, so Allen may not need to be spelled by backup Isaac Poulter during that stretch.

Devils' Jake Allen: Earns overtime win Saturday
Rotowire
Allen stopped 29 of 32 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.
Allen has won back-to-back appearances for the first time since recording wins Nov. 14 and Nov. 23 against the Panthers and Capitals, respectively. The 34-year-old has started in three of New Jersey's last four games, going 2-1-0 with a 1.89 GAA and a .923 save percentage in that span. Three games is not enough to draw any long-term conclusions, but he seems to be overcoming the struggles he had earlier in the year. Expect Allen to remain New Jersey's top option between the pipes as long as Jacob Markstrom (knee) remains out, which will be the case until late February or early March at a minimum.

Devils' Jake Allen: Perfect to earn win in relief
Rotowire
Allen stopped all 16 shots he faced in relief of Jacob Markstrom (lower body) in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.
Markstrom is set to miss time, so Allen is likely to see a heavier workload for a while. This was Allen's first win since Nov. 23 -- he had lost all six of his appearances from Nov. 30 to Jan. 18. The 34-year-old netminder has done alright in limited action with a 6-8-1 record, a 2.66 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 15 games played. The Devils' next game is against one of Allen's former teams, as they're in Montreal on Saturday.

Allen stopped 15 of 17 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Philadelphia. The third goal was an empty-netter.
At the 12:44 mark of the third period, Allen allowed the game-winner to Bobby Brink during a Philadelphia power play. The 34-year-old Allen has lost his last six outings to drop to 5-8-1 this season.

Devils' Jake Allen: Tough night in Columbus
Rotowire
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.
New Jersey outshot 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.

Devils' Jake Allen: Gets starting nod Thursday
Rotowire
Allen will be between the pipes on the road versus Columbus on Thursday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Allen will be in the crease for the first time since Dec. 8 against Colorado, in part due to an upper-body injury. Over his last five appearances, the 34-year-old backstop has recorded 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.
