Allen will defend the cage for Wednesday's road clash with Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will be tasked with carrying the load for the Habs during at least the first month of the season while Carey Price (personal) is away from the team. Still, with a back-to-back to kick off the 2021-22 season, fantasy players should probably expect to see Samuel Montembeault between the pipes versus Buffalo on Thursday. The veteran Allen went 11-12-5 with a 2.68 GAA and .907 save percentage in 29 appearances last year.
