Should The New Jersey Devils Extend Jake Allen?
Jake Allen (© Ed Mulholland-Imagn Images)The New Jersey Devils have several pending free agents they will need to make decisions with. Among the most notable of their pending unrestricted free agents is goaltender Jake Allen.
Allen, 34, has had a strong season with the Devils in 2024-25. In 27 appearances this campaign, he has a .913 save percentage, a 2.56 goals-against average, and four shutouts.
Allen has also been heating up down the stretch. In his last 13 appearances for the Devils, he has a 7-6-0 record, a .927 save percentage, and a 2.30 goals-against average. This includes stopping 45 out of 46 shots in the Devils' 2-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 17. He also has two shutouts over that span.
Overall, Allen has been quite solid with the Devils this campaign and is serving well as Jacob Markstrom's backup. With this, it is fair to wonder if the Devils will aim to extend him beyond this season.
