Allen made 20 saves in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Montreal's inability to solve Adin Hill in the other crease gave Allen no margin for error, but the 31-year-old netminder played poorly enough to earn the loss all on his own, as he coughed up two goals in the first 3:36 of the first period. Allen is now 0-3 to begin the season with a 3.05 GAA and .885 save percentage in his first three starts, and the Habs may not be able to rely on him to handle the No. 1 job while Carey Price (knee/personal) is away from the team.
