Allen made 25 saves in a 4-3 win over Ottawa on Saturday.
Allen was the difference maker, especially in the last 10 minutes of the game when the Senators turned up the pressure. Allen is 4-3-0 in his past seven starts, but his save percentage in that span is a queasy .895. Still, he's been good enough to get the Devils to within five points of the Penguins for the second wild card. Allen is doing his part.
