Allen (lower body) will head to Vancouver for no-contact practice, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen and several other injured teammates will join the Canadiens in advance of Wednesday's contest against the Canucks. The goalie has recently skated but not practiced, so it appears he's taking the next step to an eventual return. It's unclear if there are plans to use him Wednesday. Allen last appeared in a game Jan. 12, his lone appearance over the previous 26 games.
