What It Means:

Coming off his first loss in nine starts on Thursday, Allen will start on back-to-back nights for only the second time this season. The 26-year-old netminder has a 13-4-3 record with a .908 save percentage and 2.47 goals allowed in 21 starts this season.

Our models project Allen to do well with 2.1 goals allowed, 26.1 saves and a 60.0 percent chance of taking home the win. He is our second-ranked goalie for Friday's six-game slate.
