New Jersey Devils veteran goaltender Jake Allen made 26 saves on 29 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. Allen faced an early challenge, allowing the game's opening goal on Anaheim's first shot due to a defensive miscommunication. He recorded seven saves on nine shots in the first period and was beaten by Cutter Gauthier's snap shot on the Ducks' first shot of the second period. Despite his efforts, the Devils ultimately fell to the Ducks, concluding their road trip with a 1-3-0 record.
