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.

Following a frustrating 4-2 defeat earlier in the week, the Devils flipped the script in a decisive way, shutting out the Philadelphia Flyers 5-0 at the Prudential Center on Wednesday, reclaiming their momentum with a dominant performance across the board.

Allen will guard the home goal versus the Flyers on Wednesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. Allen lost to the Flyers in Philadelphia on Monday, allowing three goals on 25 shots.
