The Devils are coming off a disappointing 7-2 loss to the Boston Bruins and will hope for a better result with Allen tending the twine on Friday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Allen struggled in his most recent start, allowing four goals on 19 shots (.789 SV%) in a 4-0 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. The 34-year-old goalie has a 2.59 GAA and .909 SV% in 29 games this season (12-15-1). The Devils enter Friday's contest as -190 home favorites against a Penguins team with points in four of their last five (3-1-1).
