Allen will miss the remainder of the campaign with a groin injury.
EDGE Analysis
Although Allen is done for the year, he's expected to make a full recovery in time for next season's training camp. For now, it appears as though Carey Price (knee) will play in 2022-23, but it remains to be seen if he'll still be with the Canadiens or perhaps playing elsewhere in search of a Stanley Cup. If Price is with Montreal, it's safe to assume Allen's workload will be significantly reduced next year. However, if Price is suiting up for a different team, Allen should have a similar workload to what he took on in 2021-22. Allen will finish the season having gone 9-20-4 while posting a 3.30 GAA and a .905 save percentage through 35 appearances.

Allen (lower body) won't be available against Winnipeg on Monday and his recovery timeline remains undetermined, John Lu of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen had appeared in 11 of the team's last 12 contests in which he went 4-4-2 with a 3.61 GAA and .911 save percentage. With Carey Price (knee) still working his way back and Allen sidelined, Samuel Montembeault will step into the starting role versus the Jets and possibly beyond.

Allen will guard the road cage during Saturday's matchup with the Maple Leafs, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was a little shaky in his last start Thursday against the Devils, allowing four goals on 37 shots, but he was still able to come away with a win thanks to fantastic goal support from his teammates. He'll attempt to secure a second straight victory in a tough road matchup with a Toronto team that's averaging 3.65 goals per game at home this season, sixth in the NHL.

Allen made 33 saves in a 7-4 win over the Devils on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was dialled in Thursday, especially in the second period when the Devils were buzzing the net. And he kept his teammates in the game until they forced Andrew Hammond from the Jersey net early in the third and ultimately took the win. But for the strong work Thursday, fantasy managers need to use caution with Allen in the net. He has allowed four or more goals in eight of his last 13 starts.

Allen stopped 26 of 31 shots and took the loss in Tuesday's 6-3 defeat at the hands of Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
After seeing an average of 41 shots over the past six games, Allen was given a slight break Tuesday. Unfortunately, he needed more support from the troops, who racked up 28 PIM which led to two power-play goals and another tally scored on a delayed penalty call. The Canadiens next play Thursday in New Jersey.
