EDGE Analysis
Allen and the Canadiens managed to force a shootout Wednesday despite being outshot 42-to-24, where a lone Mitch Marner goal proved enough to stick the 33-year-old netminder with a loss. Allen went 15-24-3 with a .891 save percentage last season. He's expected to split goaltending duties with Sam Montembeault to open the 2023-24 campaign.
