Allen (lower body) has returned to Montreal for further testing, Marc Antoine Godin of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Canadiens have already stated that Allen will be sidelined for at least a week, but Godin is confident Montreal's top netminder will be on the shelf longer than that based on Friday's news. With Allen facing an extended absence, Samuel Montembeault and Cayden Primeau will take over as the Habs' top-two netminders.
