Allen made 40 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to Nashville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The ice was tilted toward Allen, who faced twice as many shots as Juuse Saros on the night. And he almost pushed the game to a shootout, but he couldn't stop the winner at the 4:48 mark of the extra frame. Allen pushed hard across the crease when Mikael Granlund fired a pass cross-crease to Filip Forsberg who lifted it over the netminder. Allen backstopped the Habs to their first point in three games since general manager Marc Bergevin was fired last Sunday. The team will struggle short term, so beware an Allen activation.
