Given that his arrival in New Jersey, Jake Allen has actually been smoking hot.
He’s discovered himself once again after some harder times in front of the internet with the Habs, and the skill in the Devils’ lineup is assisting him be successful.
The reality that he was playing in front of a restoring group in Montreal might be worth thinking about.
Allen has actually played 6 video games with his brand-new club because the offer, and his statistics are excellent.
It’s difficult to request more, a minimum of:
- 4-2-0 record
- .925 performance rate
- 2.51 goals-against typical
The veteran is doing whatever he can to make points with the company for next season. Management has let him understand that the strategy is to keep him for the 24-25 season (not a surprise there), which offers him a little bit of stability.
That stated, understanding now that he’s in New Jersey to remain (in the short-term, a minimum of), Allen had a brand-new goalie mask painted.
The work, which was produced by Sylvie Marsolais and Alexandre Mathysis easy and in Devils colors … And completion outcome is truly gorgeous :

The (older) folks had a look at Allen’s brand-new mask and might have seen something rather significant.
Allen’s mask looks extremely, quite like Martin Brodeur’s back then.
The huge Devils indication on top of Allen’s mask exists, and the style with the colors is rather comparable to Brodeur’s:
We understand that Jake Allen and Martin Brodeur have an excellent relationship due to the fact that they rubbed shoulders in St. Louis with the Blues.
They’ve ended up being buddies off the ice, and Allen has actually even stated recently that the Quebecer has actually had a huge impact en route he prepares before video games and in between seasons.
That stated, did the previous Habs goalie wish to commemorate the Devils legend? The concern is worthy of to be asked …
In closing, it’s worth keeping in mind that given that Allen’s departure, things have not always been working out for the Habs’ goalies.
The Habs have actually played 8 video games given that the offer, Monty has actually won one … and Primeau has actually won 2. It’s night and day, when you compare the efficiency of the Habs’ goalies with the veteran’s statistics given that signing up with the Devils …
