Allen and the Canadiens have agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $7.7 million.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old netminder will receive $4.4 million in 2023-24 and $3.3 million the following season. He is expected to be the Canadiens' No. 1 netminder this season with Carey Price gone for the season and possibly his career. Allen had a tough season in 2021-22, going 9-20-4 with a 3.30 GAA and a .905 save percentage, but he should rebound with 20-plus wins if he is able to remain healthy.
