Allen stopped 20 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder kept New Jersey off the board in the first period, but things began to go sideways for Montreal early in the second after Timo Meier was left all alone to tip the puck into a wide-open cage. Allen is 0-4-1 over his last five starts with a rough .864 save percentage, but he'll likely maintain a regular spot in the Habs' three-headed goalie committee as the team attempts to move him before the trade deadline.

Allen will guard the home cage Saturday against the Capitals, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen had a rough go in his last start, allowing seven goals in a 7-2 loss to St. Louis on Feb. 11. The 33-year-old netminder will look to rebound against a Caps team averaging 2.38 goals per game, the third-lowest mark in the league. Allen is 5-10-3 with an .895 save percentage and 3.63 GAA this season.

Allen turned aside 29 of 36 shots in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
St. Louis scored twice in the first 5:05 of the first period and never looked back, with three of their goals on the afternoon coming on the power play. Allen wasn't sharp at even strength either. The veteran netminder is 1-4-1 over his last six outings with a 4.01 GAA and .876 save percentage. He's doing little to push Sam Montembeault for playing time, or make himself a possible trade chip for the Habs.

Allen will start at home against the Blues on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has a 5-9-3 record, 3.43 GAA and .901 save percentage in 17 contests this season. He's allowed at least three goals in each of his last five outings. Sam Montembeault started the front end of Montreal's back-to-back set Saturday against the Stars, leaving Allen a comparatively easier matchup against a Blues team that's averaging 2.84 goals per game -- seventh-fewest in the NHL.

Allen made 30 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Allen played well enough but has allowed at least three goals in five straight starts. He lost four of those games. Allen is 5-9-3 with a 3.43 GAA and .901 save percentage in 17 starts. Those numbers are pedestrian, but they've come behind a subpar squad. The Habs will likely try to trade him before the deadline. His value would go up, even as a backup with a competitive team.

Allen will patrol the road crease versus the Penguins on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was a little shaky in his last start Tuesday against the Senators, surrendering three goals on only 27 shots en route to a 4-1 defeat. He'll try to return to the win column in a road matchup with a Pittsburgh team that's averaging just 2.76 goals per game at home this campaign, 25th in the NHL.

Allen stopped 24 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Ottawa's final goal was scored into an empty net. Allen got very little help from his defense -- the Sens' first goal came when they won an offensive-zone faceoff while shorthanded, and Ridly Greig was somehow still left alone to scoop up a rebound in front of the netminder. Allen has given up at least three goals in all four of his starts since Christmas, going 1-3-0, and his 3.46 GAA and .900 save percentage on the season aren't helping boost his trade value as the Habs look to simplify their three-headed goalie committee.
