Allen Stops 31, Chisholm's Power-Play Goal Carries Devils Past Colorado 4–3
Declan Chisholm scored the go-ahead goal on the power play midway through the second period and Jake Allen made 31 saves as New Jersey beat Colorado 4–3 on Tuesday, pushing the Devils' winning streak to two games heading into the playoffs.
The win moves New Jersey to 50–45 on the season. Their last-10 record now sits at 6–4 with a +0.2 goals-per-game differential over that stretch, a modest uptick from the season-long mark of −0.22. It is a small correction after a stretch of volatility, though the overall pace remains consistent with where this team has been all year.
Allen's 31-save performance was the steadying factor against Colorado. With Jacob Markstrom no longer in the picture following his offseason trade to Florida, Allen has stepped into the primary goaltending role, and Tuesday's outing was a functional one at a useful moment.
