    Jake Allen will be back in the New Jersey Devils' crease Friday night against the New York Islanders.

    It will be his fourth start of the season and first since he allowed eight goals against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday.

    The veteran netminder enters the game with a .880 save percentage and a 3.01 goals-against average.

    After his team's morning skate, head coach Sheldon Keefe was asked his thoughts on his goaltending tandem, which includes Jacob Markstrom.

    "Not good enough, but they know that," Keefe said of his goaltenders. "They're veteran guys. They're working hard. We have to do a better job in front of them consistently. I thought we did that last night. But over the course of the season, there are things we can do to certainly help their cause."

    Allen has a 2-5-0 record in eight games, a goals-against average of 4.39, and a save percentage of .849 against the Islanders in his career.
