EDGE Analysis

Allen will be making his ninth appearance in Montreal's last 10 contests, during which he's posted a 3-5-0 record and a 3.04 GAA.

Allen allowed three goals on 25 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Allen leaked a couple of goals late in the third period, but he was able to hold on for the win. The 30-year-old netminder improved to 8-8-4 with a 2.54 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 20 appearances. Carey Price (concussion) is expected to miss at least a week, which makes Allen the No. 1 for the Canadiens in the meantime. He'll likely start again Friday in Calgary.

Allen will start Wednesday's game in Edmonton, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will get the nod with Carey Price sidelined by a concussion. The backup has solid ratios (2.52 GAA, .914 save percentage) but just a 7-8-4 record to show for his efforts, and improving that mark won't be easy against an Oilers team that's won four of its last five games, including a 4-1 decision over Montreal on Monday.

Allen allowed three goals on 28 shots over two periods in relief of Carey Price (undisclosed) in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Allen did well in the second period, but the Oilers rallied in the third. This gave Allen his fifth loss in the last seven games. The 30-year-old dropped to 7-8-4 with a 2.52 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 19 contests this year. Depending on the severity of Price's injury, Allen could be a candidate to start Wednesday's rematch with the Oilers.

Allen made 28 saves in Friday's 2-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old netminder had his shutout bid ruined midway through the third period by Elias Lindholm, but otherwise it was an impressive showing for Allen, who had gone 1-4-0 over five starts since Carey Price (upper body) was sidelined.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was decent in his last start Wednesday against Calgary, turning aside 30 of 33 shots, but he ultimately suffered his 11th loss of the season due to a lack of goal support from his teammates.

Allen allowed three goals on 33 shots in a 4-1 loss to Calgary on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Point blasts by Noah Hanifin and Mark Giordano early in each of the first two periods built a 2-0 lead for Calgary, and the Canadiens were unable to muster any offensive support for Allen outside of Brett Kulak's breakaway tally midway through the middle frame. Allen, who has been handling the bulk of the recent workload in the absence of Carey Price (upper body), has just two wins in his last 12 appearances (2-6-4).
