Allen's Stellar Effort Powers Devils Win

Jake Allen shakes off the Olympic break rust and delivers a gritty performance, stopping 27 of 31 shots to backstop New Jersey's 6-4 thriller over the Kings. The veteran netminder, who's been riding the pine behind Jacob Markstrom lately, flashes that third-period magic front offices have coveted since his St. Louis days. With Markstrom scuffling at 1-4-0 over his last five, Allen positions himself for a bigger role down the stretch as the Devils chase playoff positioning.
