Gotta see it: Devils Jake Allen Robs Penguins Sidney Crosby with Diving Save

Allen, humble as he is, attributed the save to luck.

“I saw him … he walked out in front of the net and was patient, waiting me out,” Allen explained. “It’s desperation, but at the same time, there’s a lot of luck involved there, and sometimes you’re lucky, sometimes you’re not. It was an important first game of this three-game homestand.”

Coming from Montreal, the Canadiens were working a three-goaltender system with Allen, Sam Montembault, and Cayden Primeau. Therefore, Tuesday night was the first time Allen started in back-to-back games all season. He explained he’s feeling physically well and is prepared for more starts down the stretch of the regular season.

“That was the first time all year for me,” Allen chuckled when asked about back-to-back starts. “So it was good, it’s good to get some ice time, you know, try to get in a little bit of groove. I feel good right now, my body has felt good all year. But, it was a first for me so you know, look forward to more games.”

Who knows how long this momentum will go, but enjoy the ride Jake Allen is taking us all on.
