Allen (lower body) will make the trip for Wednesday's matchup with the Islanders, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen hasn't been confirmed as the starter but will at least be an option to serve as the backup against New York. With just 15 wins in 42 games this year, the 32-year-old netminder will miss the 20-win mark for the fifth consecutive season and is currently sporting a career-worst 3.55 GAA. Given his struggles, it seems unlikely the team will want to bring Allen back when he hits free agency this offseason.

Allen (lower body) is listed among the Canadiens' scratches for Thursday's game versus the Capitals, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Allen is expected to miss his second straight game with the injury. Sam Montembeault will start Thursday, and Cayden Primeau will be the backup goalie.

Allen will not be in the lineup against the Red Wings on Tuesday due to a lower-body issue.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has just one win in his previous eight contests, posting a 1-6-1 record over that stretch. With just five games remaining in the season, Allen may have played in his final game of the 2022-23 campaign, though the team did designate him as day-to-day. In the meantime, Cayden Primeau will start against the Red Wings on Tuesday.

Allen stopped 30 of 33 shots in a 4-3 shootout victory over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was solid Monday, allowing three goals on 33 shots before prevailing in a shootout. The win snapped a seven-game losing streak for Allen as he improves to 15-24-3 with an .891 save percentage on the season. With Montreal looking toward the future, Allen could take a backseat to Sam Montembeault and Cayden Primeau down the stretch.

Allen will be between the road pipes versus Buffalo on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has suffered seven straight losses, posting a 0-6-1 record and 4.88 GAA along the way. A matchup with a Sabres offense that is averaging 3.57 goals per game, the third highest in the NHL, doesn't exactly bode well for Allen getting back into the win column. Despite his slump, Allen continues to share the workload with Sam Montembeault.

Allen made 17 saves in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Montreal actually out-shot Boston 31-21, but bad bounces and bad defensive play gave the Bruins an early 2-0 lead and the Habs never recovered. Allen remains winless in March, going 0-6-1 with a brutal 4.88 GAA and .853 save percentage, but with his team playing for nothing but better positioning in the draft lottery, the netminder will likely continue to see regular work over the final weeks.

Allen will get the starting nod on the road against the Bruins on Thursday, Marc Antoine Godin of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has conceded six goals in each of his previous two contests, posting a combined .636 save percentage and 15.84 GAA. In fact, the veteran backstop is winless in six straight, having posted an 0-5-1 record over that stretch. With only a few games left this season, Allen almost certainly will miss the 20-win mark for the fifth straight campaign.

Allen took the loss Thursday as the Canadiens were downed 9-5 by the Panthers, replacing Sam Montembeault early in the first period but then giving up six goals on 18 shots in a little over a period's worth of ice time.

EDGE Analysis

Montembeault gave up three quick goals to get the hook, but Allen's performance was bad enough that Habs coach Martin St. Louis was forced to turn the team's crease into a revolving door and put Montembeault back in. Allen is having a disastrous March, coughing up six goals in two straight appearances and going 0-5-1 in six games with a 5.03 GAA and .858 save percentage. Both Montreal goalies are radioactive for fantasy purposes right now -- the team's surrendered 21 goals in its last three games -- but Allen in particular cannot be used until he offers proof he's snapped out of this funk.

Allen allowed six goals on 15 shots before being pulled from Montreal's 8-4 loss to Colorado on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen left the game early in the second period with Montreal down 6-1. Sam Montembeault stepped in, but the Canadiens couldn't climb out of the hole, and Allen was charged with the loss. The 32-year-old has a 14-22-3 record, 3.43 GAA and .895 save percentage in 39 contests in 2022-23. He's lost his last five outings while surrendering 18 goals on 151 shots in that span.

Allen was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Avalanche play-by-play announcer Conor McGahey reports, indicating he'll be in goal versus Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has lost four straight contests, posting a 0-3-1 record and 2.99 GAA in those contests. At this point, the veteran netminder could struggle to reach the 20-win mark for the fifth straight season, having last reached that mark back in 2017-18 when with the Blues.
