Allen stopped 40 of 42 shots in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

This loss is not on Allen -- he played well under a lot of pressure from the Canucks, but the Canadiens couldn't cover the damage. The 31-year-old slipped to 5-10-1 with a 2.96 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 17 contests. Allen's time as the No. 1 goalie for the Habs is not yet close to ending, as Carey Price (knee) hasn't returned to full-team practice sessions. A tough test awaits for Allen assuming he starts Thursday against the surging Avalanche.
