Allen turned aside 26 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Playing their second game in as many days on a west-coast swing, the Canadiens had no energy and were out-shot 30-18, but Allen couldn't provide them with a lift either and arguably should have stopped at least three of the pucks that beat him. After a promising start to the season, the 33-year-old netminder has lost five straight decisions in November, allowing 19 goals on 153 shots during the month for an .876 save percentage. Montreal is using a three-goalie rotation at the moment with Sam Montembeault and Cayden Primeau, but Allen's playing time could dwindle further if he can't turn things around.

Allen made 39 saves in a 5-2 loss to Boston on Saturday.

Allen has dropped four consecutive games after starting the season 3-0-1. The Habs are young, and Allen faces a lot of rubber. Depending on your categories, Allen's save totals and save percentage may prove valuable.

Allen allowed three goals on 35 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Canucks.

It was a decent performance from Allen overall -- after blanking Vancouver in the first period, he was tagged for three goals in the second before the Canucks added a pair of empty-netters in the third. The 33-year-old Allen falls to 3-3-1 with a .911 save percentage this season while sharing goaltending duties with Sam Montembeault and Cayden Primeau.

EDGE Analysis
It'll be Allen's first start since he surrendered four goals on just nine shots Tuesday in a loss to Tampa Bay. Overall, the 33-year-old Allen is 3-2-1 with a .910 save percentage this season. He'll have a tough matchup against a Vancouver team that's leading the NHL with 4.36 goals per game.

Allen allowed four goals on only nine shots before being replaced by Sam Montembeault midway through the first period of Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Montreal simply got overwhelmed to begin the night, and while Allen couldn't be faulted on the first three pucks that beat him, a goal from a sharp angle by Michael Eyssimont was enough to prompt coach Martin St. Louis to give the netminder the hook. Allen's 3.35 GAA isn't in sync with his 3-2-1 record or .910 save percentage, but the latter seems more likely to fall given the .891 save percentage he posted in 2022-23. Expect Montembeault, or even Cayden Primeau, to get the nod in the crease Thursday in Detroit.

Allen stopped 32 of 35 shots in the Canadiens' 3-2 loss to the Coyotes on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was solid Thursday, posting a .914 save percentage in the game, but was outdueled by Connor Ingram to take his first regulation loss of the season. Allen now posts a 3-1-1 record with a 2.72 GAA and a .927 save percentage. He should continue to split starts with Sam Montembeault for the time being.

EDGE Analysis
Allen is off to a strong start to the 2023-24 campaign, posting a 3-0-1 record, 2.63 GAA and .930 save percentage in four contests. He's traditionally done well against Arizona too, going 8-2-0 with a 1.46 GAA and a .946 save percentage in 11 career outings, so the stage might be set for him to extend his current winning streak to four games. Arizona has a 4-4-1 record while averaging 3.33 goals per game this year.
