Allen will start against the Blues in St. Louis on Saturday, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will guard the net for a seventh consecutive game. In the previous six, he's 1-4-1 with a .926 save percentage and 2.84 goals-against average. Those are good numbers, worthy of more than one win, but the Canadiens have offered 13 goals of support during the six-game stretch. Allen faces the organization with which he spent his first eight years and won a Stanley Cup in 2019. The Blues are 9-3-1 at home, including six straight wins entering Saturday's meeting.
