THE Devils from New Jersey failed Jake Allen Wednesday evening in Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.
THE Colorado Avalanche Awarded a defeat of 5-1 to the Devils, with Allen facing 36 shots.
“We were in the match because of him”, the head coach Sheldon Keefe said to njd.tv. “We have not marked enough for him, which was unfortunately the story when Jake is in too many games this year.”
The veteran goalkeeper showed a rare emotion while he was skating with 1:42 to play in the third period. Nico Daws ended the match.
“I had to get him out because he cracked pretty well and dehydrated, etc.,” Keefe said about Allen.
During the first five minutes of the match, Allen faced seven shots while his team fired one on the opposing goalkeeper Mackenzie Blackwood. He kept the Devils alive, and that was due to his game in the fold that his team was not down by a single goal after 20 minutes.
After two periods, the score remained 1-0. The Colorado took an advance of 2-0 at the start of the third period, but Jack Hughes broke the Blackwood bleaching at 8:28 of the final frame.
It was only the last five minutes that the game collapsed for New Jersey as Nathan Mackinnon, Casey Mitelstadt and Logan O’Connor found the bottom of the net for a 5-1 lead.
Subsequently, the defender of the Demons Johnathan Kovacevic recognized During his post-match media availability, his goalkeeper “stood on his head during the first two periods”.
As Keefe said, Devils’ inability to provide Allen with objective support was a common theme this season. The 34-year-old record of 9-13-1 does not quite tell the story of his play, because his four whitening is equal to the second largest number in the NHL behind Winnipeg jets’ Connor Hellebuyck (Six).
Of course, statistics are not something that the veteran thinks after spending 12 seasons in the NHL.
“The statistics of goalkeepers, for me, are a very conversational room,” He said has Hockey news. “I don’t really believe a ton. It gives you a reference base, but at the same time, it’s not really (paint the whole image).”
From Jacob Marksrom Injury on January 22, Allen resumed the net in a transparent way, his game being one of the only coherent elements of the New Jersey game.
The Devils will go to Salt Lake City to play Utah Hockey Club on Saturday evening at the Delta Center.
