Allen gave up five goals on 34 shots in a 5-1 loss to Ottawa on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

It was all Senators from start to finish and Allen's stat line bore the brunt of it, resulting in his worst single-game save percentage (.853) in nearly a month. Allen has given up three-plus goals in 10 of his last 13 starts and still hasn't been able to put together back-to-back wins since the start of February.

Allen will patrol the crease during Wednesday's road game versus the Senators, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was sharp in his last start Monday against the Maple Leafs, stopping 27 of 29 shots en route to a 3-2 win. He'll attempt to extend his personal winning streak to three games in a road matchup with a surging Ottawa team that's won three of its last four games.

Allen kicked out 27 of 29 shots Monday in a 3-2 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Making another start in the absence of Carey Price (concussion), Allen yielded just a point shot to Morgan Rielly and a deflection by Auston Matthews to earn his third win in his last four starts. Allen hasn't been able to string together back-to-back wins in three months, yet he's generally provided steady goaltending whenever called upon.

Allen will get the starting nod at home versus Toronto on Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen continues to see the bulk of the starts with Carey Price (concussion) still unavailable and will be making his seventh appearance in the Habs' last nine contests. Regardless of how well Allen might perform down the stretch, Price figures to be the go-to guy between the pipes in the playoffs, assuming he is cleared to play.

Allen stopped 19 of 22 shots in Friday's 5-3 win over Winnipeg.

EDGE Analysis

Allowing three goals is normally a ticket to a loss for the Canadiens, whose pop-gun offense hasn't helped Allen much while he's filled in for Carey Price (concussion). However, they dug deep Friday to come back from a 3-1 deficit and pull out the win for Allen, his fifth in the last 12 starts. He's allowed at least three goals in eight of those 12 games, while posting an .896 save percentage. It's unclear if Allen will start the second game of a back-to-back set Saturday against Ottawa.

Allen will get the starting nod at home versus Winnipeg on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has given up three or more goals in four of his last five contests while posting a disappointing .896 save percentage over that stretch. Since taking over for the injured Carey Price (concussion), Allen has managed just four wins in 11 games while posting a 2.94 GAA. Even with his recent sub-par performances, Allen will continue to serve as the preferred option between the pipes for Montreal until Price returns.

Allen allowed four goals on 29 shots in a 4-1 loss to Toronto on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen gave up goals to William Nylander and Auston Matthews in the game's opening nine minutes and the Canadiens were unable to crawl back. Allen, who hasn't strung together back-to-back victories since early February, dropped to 9-10-4 on the year with a 2.56 GAA and .911 save percentage.

Allen will patrol the crease during Wednesday's home game versus the Maple Leafs, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was sharp in his last start Monday against the Flames, turning aside 21 of 22 shots en route to a tidy 2-1 victory. The veteran backstop will attempt to earn his 10th win of the campaign in a tough home matchup with a Toronto team that's 16-6-2 on the road this year.

Allen made 21 saves in Monday's 2-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Elias Lindholm beat him on the power play midway through the first period, but otherwise Allen shut down the Calgary offense. The 30-year-old netminder has alternated wins and losses over his last eight starts, perfectly mirroring his 9-9-4 record on the season, but his 2.49 GAA and .913 save percentage probably deserves a better mark.

Allen will start Monday's game in Calgary, Pat Steinberg of Flames Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen gave up three goals in Friday's loss to the Flames, then watched Cayden Primeau give up four in Saturday's loss. With Carey Price (concussion) still lacking a return timeline, Allen will start the third of Montreal's three straight games against the Flames. Despite their recent success against Montreal, the Flames still rank in the bottom 10 offensively overall at 2.68 goals per game.
