Allen is considered day-to-day with a concussion.
EDGE Analysis
Allen will miss Tuesday's game versus the Rangers at a minimum. Samuel Montembeault and Cayden Primeau will operate as Montreal's top two netminders until Allen is ready to return.

Allen (undisclosed) will not dress for Sunday's game in Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Allen is still being evaluated, presumably for a concussion, after colliding with Detroit's Dylan Larkin on Saturday. As such, Samuel Montembeault has been named the starter with Cayden Primeau backing up Sunday.

Allen (undisclosed) left Saturday's contest against Detroit with an undisclosed injury, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was replaced by Samuel Montembeault late in the first period after Allen collided with Dylan Larkin. Based on the hit, the 31-year-old netminder could be getting checked for a concussion. An update on his status may be available after the game.

Allen will start in goal against host Detroit on Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen already has two wins against the Wings this season -- including a Nov. 2 shutout at home -- so it's no surprise to see him getting the nod once again. The veteran's record this season is 4-8-1 with a 2.85 GAA and .902 save percentage.

Allen stopped 24 of 26 shots in a 4-2 win over the Flames on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a tight contest -- the game was knotted until the 12:08 mark of the third and his mates sealed the win with an empty netter. It was Allen's first win in four games and just fourth win in 13 starts this season (4-8-1).

Allen will defend the blue paint during Thursday's home game versus Calgary, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has struggled recently, suffering three straight losses while posting an ugly 4.07 GAA and .853 save percentage. The 31-year-old backstop will try to get back on track in a tough home matchup with a Flames team that's 5-1-0 on the road this year.

Allen made 31 saves in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old netminder would probably like to have both of the regulation goals back, but there was little he could do on the OT winner as Adrian Kempe put together a great individual effort. Allen has lost three straight appearances, and he sports a 3-8-1 record with an equally shaky 2.93 GAA and .901 save percentage as he sees a heavy workload in place of Carey Price (knee/personal).

Allen will start Tuesday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Things have not gone well for Allen over his last four starts, as his 1-3-0 record, .871 save percentage and 3.57 GAA during that span suggest. He'll face a pesky Los Angeles squad looking to extend its current winning streak to six games Tuesday.

Allen made 13 saves in a 5-2 loss to Vegas on Saturday. He allowed three goals.
EDGE Analysis
Oh boy. The ice was tilted toward his opponent Robin Lehner in the first period when the Habs outshot the Golden Knights 20-1. Coming into the second, Allen had a 2-0 lead, but his mates simply took their foot off the gas the rest of the way. And the Knights' power play finally woke up, delivering its first two goals of the season. It's a tough season so far for Allen and the Canadiens. Avoid him unless you really have no other good options.

Allen will start Saturday against the Golden Knights, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen will return to the net after being yanked from Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Islanders, in which he gave up five goals on 25 shots over two periods. Saturday's game will be his 11th start in 13 games. With news that Carey Price is set to rejoin the team Monday, Allen's days as the primary goalie are numbered. It is speculated that Price could need up to two weeks to get ready, including a start or two at AHL Laval.
