New Jersey Devils goalie Jake Allen earned his second victory of the season on Monday afternoon by posting a 20-save shutout over the Utah Hockey Club. This was the 34-year-old's 25th career shutout, and he now holds a perfect 2-0 record through his first two starts this season. He allowed just one goal on 18 shots against the Buffalo Sabres in his first start. This was an impressive feat on Monday afternoon, as Utah has scored at least five goals in all three of their previous games this season. Allen looks on track to enjoy a nice bounce-back campaign after posting an underwhelming .895 SV% and 3.44 GAA last season. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should consider adding Allen if they lack depth in that position, even though he will serve as the clear No.2 option by Jacob Markstrom this season.
New Jersey Devils goaltender Jake Allen will take on a high-scoring Utah team on Monday. This will be Allen's second appearance of the campaign. He made a winning start to the season by beating Buffalo 3-1 with a 17-save effort in a Global Series game in Prague on Oct. 5. Allen is set to face a much more difficult task in Monday's matinee, as the Utah offense has been on fire early in the year. With three games played, Utah has already lit the lamp 16 times, with the team's power play clicking at an incredible 42.9 percent rate.
New Jersey Devils goaltender Jake Allen will make his debut for the team on Thursday against the Dallas Stars. Allen was acquired before the trade deadline last week to help the Devils with their goaltending woes. Unfortunately, Allen is sporting some ugly numbers himself, with an .892 SV%, 3.65 GAA, and -8.0 GSAA. The move from Montreal to New Jersey might help, but the latter hasn't been defensively sound this year either. The 33-year-old is a desperation option in fantasy and should only be used given a good matchup, which this is not.
New Jersey Devils goaltender Jake Allen will make his team debut Thursday versus the Dallas Stars. The veteran netminder was acquired from the Montreal Canadiens prior to the March 8 NHL trade deadline but was unable to play until this point due to visa issues. "He's a veteran guy," Devils coach Travis Green said. "A good goalie in the league for a while now ... I'm looking forward to getting Jake in the net and get him up and running as quick as possible." The 33-year-old has struggled in recent seasons on some poor Habs teams, working to a 3.65 goals-against average and an .892 save percentage across 21 games this season. He was part of a three-goalie tandem in Montreal alongside Sam Montembeault and Cayden Primeau.
The New Jersey Devils have acquired goaltender Jake Allen from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for a conditional third-round pick that can turn into a second-rounder based on Allen's games played with the Devils. The Canadiens are retaining 50% of Allen's $3.85 cap hit, a hit that runs through next season. Allen has struggled over the last two seasons, most recently posting a 3.65 goals-against average and an .892 save percentage across 21 starts, going 6-12-3 in that time. He was part of a three-goalie tandem with Montreal alongside Sam Montembeault and Cayden Primeau but could take over the No. 1 role with a Devils team that has received a 31st-ranked .883 Sv% from their goaltenders this season.

For the season, the veteran sports a 3.52 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage across just 14 outings, going 4-8-2 in that time. As a result of the poor play, the bulk of starts have been going to Sam Montembeault who has out-performed Allen with a 2.89 GAA and a .909 Sv% across 20 appearances (19 starts). It's a tall task on Monday night for Allen against a dangerous Avalanche offense that sits second in the NHL while averaging 3.67 goals per game.
Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jake Allen showed off great form in Monday's battle with the Sabres, stopping 36 of 37 shots in a 3-1 win.

This is only the fourth time since the start of last season Allen has strung together back-to-back wins. He's had a very tough time playing with a rebuilding team, but the Canadiens look much better in 2023-24, and Allen has benefited from it.

Jake Allen Agrees To Two-Year Extension With Montreal
Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jake Allen has signed a two-year extension with the team. The 32-year-old was set to become an unrestricted free agent next offseason before inking the new deal, which ups his cap hit to $3,850,000. Allen's current deal carries an average annual value of $2,875,000. The 2019 Stanley Cup champion is set for another season as Montreal's No. 1, with Carey Price (knee) remaining on the sidelines. Allen is coming off a poor year, which he ended with a 9-20-4 record. He likely won't be able to improve much either, as Montreal is expected to be among the worst teams in the league again.
