Hot Take: Allen is the game 1 starter.

Stolarz leads the league in save percentage btw

And is coming in hot

I could see Stolarz getting flaming hot right from Game 1. The guy has been impressive this year.

Hot Take: Allen is the game 1 starter.

Zero chance.

Devils gave up a lot to get Markstrom and he's still got another year on his contract, whereas Allen is a pending UFA.

Markstrom is also finding his form after struggling post-injury and has posted a .917 or better SV% in 4 of his past 5 starts (a combined .949 in those 4 games). Meanwhile, Allen has struggled recently with a .804 save percentage his past 3 starts.

Have you looked at their stats Jan 1 onwards?

Yes.

Did you miss the part about Markstrom struggling after returning from injury in March? His January was fine (.910 SV% / 2.39 GAA) even if Allen's was better.

Very familiar with both goalies' performances this season and Markstrom absolutely will be the game 1 starter.

1-0 canes lead the series then

Stolarz is looking excellent right now. He's the only correct answer for Toronto.

Even if his numbers weren't as good, I would trust him to get into a groove over Woll. I could see Woll playing decent enough, until an injury creeps in as it inevitably does with him, and then we're pivoting to a cold Stolarz.
