Allen will start in Toronto on Thursday.

Despite Kaapo Kahkonen recording a shutout in a 4-0 win over the New York Islanders on Sunday, the Devils will return to Allen in the crease on Tuesday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Allen has been solid since joining the Devils but had his first misstep in his last outing, allowing five goals on 25 shots (.800 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators. The Devils enter action as +127 road underdogs against the Maple Leafs.

Gruden will draw into the Penguins' lineup on Tuesday.

Gruden will draw into the Penguins' lineup after being recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) shortly before gametime. Gruden has spent the majority of the season bouncing between Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Pittsburgh, with his most recent appearance for the Penguins coming on March 19th. He has one goal in 12 NHL games this season.

Markstrom will start on Tuesday in Chicago.

The Flames, losers of three straight, will turn to Markstrom for the second time in the last three games. Markstrom lost in his return from a two-week absence due to a lower-body injury, allowing three goals on 25 shots (.880 SV%) in a 4-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. The Flames will look to snap their winless skid as they are -171 road favourites against the Chicago Blackhawks.
