Allen made 34 saves in a 3-1 loss to New Jersey on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He allowed two goals in a strong performance. He's doing his part, but a young squad in front of him hasn't been able to give him the support he needs. Allen's last win was Feb. 28, and he's 0-3-1 in four starts since then.

Allen turned aside 36 of 39 shots in regulation and overtime and three of six shootout attempts in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Montreal held a 3-2 lead late in the third period, but Allen's defense left Jesper Fast unattended on his doorstep to bang home the rebound on a Brett Pesce point shot, sending the game to OT. Allen has been sharp overall since the All-Star break despite a lack of consistent help from his teammates, going 4-3-1 over eight starts with a 2.49 GAA and .923 save percentage.

Allen will be between the home pipes against Carolina on Tuesday, Marc Antoine Godin of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since returning from injury, Allen has gone 4-4-1 with a .911 save percentage in nine contests. Considering his supporting case, the veteran should feel pretty good about securing at least a point in more than half of those contests. While Allen should continue to play the majority of the Habs' games moving forward, Sam Montembeault figures to get a few looks as well and won't be limited to just back-to-backs.

Allen stopped 24 of 28 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Former Blues teammate Ivan Barbashev tallied twice against Allen in the contest. With a 2-3-0 record and 15 goals allowed across his last five outings, Allen is holding his own behind a lackluster defense. The 32-year-old is now at 14-20-2 with a 3.36 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 36 starts this season. The Canadiens return to Montreal for a difficult homestand that starts Tuesday versus the Hurricanes.

Allen gave up three goals on 33 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Allen had won four of his last five outings before the Kings beat him Thursday. The 32-year-old gave up a pair of goals in a span of 1:03 in the third period, and the Canadiens' offense couldn't cover that damage. He's now at 14-19-2 with a 3.34 GAA and an .898 save percentage through 35 appearances this season. The Canadiens are back in action Friday versus the Ducks, so Sam Montembeault will likely get that start, while Allen could be between the pipes Sunday in Vegas.

Allen stopped 38 of 39 shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
It took the Canadiens' offense until the third period to get on the board, but Allen's strong play throughout allowed them to rally for the win. The 32-year-old has won four of his last five starts while allowing just 10 goals over that span. He improved to 14-18-2 with a 3.35 GAA and an .897 save percentage through 34 contests. The Canadiens have a back-to-back up next -- they visit the Kings on Thursday and the Ducks on Friday, so Allen and Sam Montembeault should each get a start later in the week.
