Allen made 43 saves in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

He was the main reason Montreal even got a point out of the game, as the Bruins out-shot the Canadiens 46-28, but Allen did get deked out of his pads on Brad Marchand's OT winner. The 31-year-old netminder has yet to take a regulation loss in three starts since returning from a lower-body injury, going 1-0-2 with a 2.60 GAA and .928 save percentage, and with the trade deadline now past Allen should be locked in as the Habs' No. 1 goalie as long as he can stay healthy.

Allen will get the starting nod at home versus the Bruins on Monday, Patrick Friolet of RDS reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has performed well since returning from a lower-body injury, as he is 1-0-1 with a .923 save percentage in two contests. The 31-year-old netminder will make his third straight appearance and should continue to see the majority of the starts the rest of the way unless Carey Price (knee) is cleared to return.

Allen made 29 saves in a 5-1 win over Ottawa on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first win since Nov. 27. Allen had not played since Jan. 14, his one game since Dec. 14, before returning from injury to play Thursday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars. The Habs continue to surge, so he's a worthy activation when he's in the paint.

Allen will guard the home goal during Saturday's game versus the Senators, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen wasn't great in his last start Thursday versus the Stars, surrendering four goals on 35 shots en route to a 4-3 overtime defeat. He'll try to bounce back and secure his sixth win of the season in a home matchup with an Ottawa team that's 10-15-3 on the road this year.

Allen (undisclosed) made 31 saves Thursday in a 4-3 overtime loss to Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first start since suffering a lower-boy injury Jan. 12. Allen's name has been linked to a possible trade to a contender to help them bolster their twine tent. What for him to be showcased leading up to the deadline next week so the Habs can lure in suitors.

Allen (lower body) is expected to start Thursday's home game with Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Allen is poised to return to the crease following a 25-game absence due to his lower-body injury. Prior to getting hurt, the netminder was mired in an eight-game losing streak during which he went 0-7-1 with a 3.43 GAA and .898 save percentage. With Allen back in the fold, the team will likely send Cayden Primeau back to the minors while Allen and Samuel Montembeault split up the workload.

Allen (lower body) participated in Monday's practice in Vancouver, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was one of five injured Canadiens that flew to Vancouver to participate in practice. Allen is obviously getting close to returning, but Wednesday's road-trip finale against the Canucks could be too soon.

Allen (lower body) will head to Vancouver for no-contact practice, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen and several other injured teammates will join the Canadiens in advance of Wednesday's contest against the Canucks. The goalie has recently skated but not practiced, so it appears he's taking the next step to an eventual return. It's unclear if there are plans to use him Wednesday. Allen last appeared in a game Jan. 12, his lone appearance over the previous 26 games.

Allen (lower body) skated for a second straight day Friday, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has been sidelined since Jan. 12, when it was expected the goalie would need eight weeks of recovery. That puts a potential return sometime during a six-game homestand running from March 15 to 26.

Allen (lower body) will miss the next eight weeks, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was sent back to Montreal for further evaluation last week, and the results were not encouraging. At the earliest, Allen could return in late March, though the Canadiens will have no need to rush him back, as they're already occupying last place in the league. The Habs will likely be sellers at the trade deadline, though Allen's absence is expected to last almost to that March 21 date. Fantasy managers who need help in goal will likely want to turn elsewhere.
