A shocking move just a few hours before the trade deadline, the New Jersey Devils have acquired goaltender Jake Allen. In exchange for Allen, the New Jersey Devils have sent a conditional third-round draft pick to the Montreal Canadiens, which could potentially be upgraded to a second-round pick based on games played.

The addition of Jake Allen to the New Jersey Devils’ roster has the potential to significantly impact the team. With Allen’s wealth of experience, skill, and veteran presence, the Devils address their goaltending struggles, particularly evident with rookie goalies Akira Schmid and Nico Daws. His playoff experience and Stanley Cup victory with the St. Louis Blues brings invaluable postseason insight to a Devils team eager to make a playoff push.

In the 2023-2024 NHL season, Jake Allen has played 21 games for the Montreal Canadiens. Allen secured six wins for his team. While he didn’t register any shutouts during the season, his performance was marked by a solid goals-against average (GAA) of 3.65. Additionally, Allen maintained a save percentage of .892.

As Jake Allen makes his move to the New Jersey Devils, fans are intrigued and perhaps a bit skeptical about how he’ll perform in Jersey. Nevertheless, there’s optimism in the air as supporters hope for the best from their newest goaltender.
