Jake Allen will start in goal for Canadiens in season opener Canadiens GM Kent Hughes had to do a lot of juggling when it comes to the US$83.5 million salary cap for season opener.
Facing Toronto on Wednesday Allen will patrol the road crease against Toronto on Wednesday, according to Anthony Martineau of TVA Sports.
Impact Allen posted a 15-24-3 record last season with a 3.55 GAA, one shutout and an .891 save percentage in 42 appearances. He went 1-1-0 versus the Maple Leafs in 2022-23, stopping 65 of 73 shots.

Plays full preseason game Allen allowed four goals on 29 shots in Monday's 5-4 preseason overtime win against the Maple Leafs.
Impact Allen made his second appearance of the preseason and first in which he played a whole game. The .862 save percentage wasn't pretty, but Allen made some key stops against a Toronto lineup that featured its big four -- captain John Tavares, Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and William Nylander. While Sam Montembeault had better statistics than Allen last season, the gap between them isn't much. The two goalies could share the role in 2023-24 where neither is considered the primary netminder.

Veteran goalie Jake Allen confident he's part of the Canadiens' future "I think I can be an important piece here, not only on the ice but a lot of things off the ice," the 32-year-old netminder said.

Will serve as backup Wednesday Allen (lower body) will serve as the backup goaltender for Wednesday's road contest against the Islanders, according to Patrick Friolet of RDS.
Impact Allen, who was last in net March 27, has a 15-24-3 record, 3.55 GAA and .891 save percentage in 42 contests this season. Sam Montembeault will start Wednesday and Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis indicated that Montembeault will also get the nod for the season finale Thursday.

Traveling with team Allen (lower body) will make the trip for Wednesday's matchup with the Islanders, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Impact Allen hasn't been confirmed as the starter but will at least be an option to serve as the backup against New York. With just 15 wins in 42 games this year, the 32-year-old netminder will miss the 20-win mark for the fifth consecutive season and is currently sporting a career-worst 3.55 GAA. Given his struggles, it seems unlikely the team will want to bring Allen back when he hits free agency this offseason.

Unlikely to suit up Allen (lower body) is listed among the Canadiens' scratches for Thursday's game versus the Capitals, per the NHL media site.
Impact Allen is expected to miss his second straight game with the injury. Sam Montembeault will start Thursday, and Cayden Primeau will be the backup goalie.

Out with lower-body injury Allen will not be in the lineup against the Red Wings on Tuesday due to a lower-body issue.
Impact Allen has just one win in his previous eight contests, posting a 1-6-1 record over that stretch. With just five games remaining in the season, Allen may have played in his final game of the 2022-23 campaign, though the team did designate him as day-to-day. In the meantime, Cayden Primeau will start against the Red Wings on Tuesday.

Gets starting nod against Sabres Allen will be between the road pipes versus Buffalo on Monday.
Impact Allen has suffered seven straight losses, posting a 0-6-1 record and 4.88 GAA along the way. A matchup with a Sabres' offense that is averaging 3.57 goals per game, the third highest in the NHL, doesn't exactly bode well for Allen getting back into the win column. Despite his slump, Allen continues to share the workload with Samuel Montembeault.

Wins in shootout Allen stopped 30 of 33 shots in a 4-3 shootout victory over the Sabres.
Impact Allen was solid Monday, allowing three goals on 33 shots before prevailing in a shootout. The win snaps a six-game losing streak for Allen as he improves to 15-24-3 with an .891 save percentage on the season. With Montreal looking toward the future, Allen could take a backseat to Sam Montembeault and Cayden Primeau down the stretch.

Another tough night Allen made 17 saves in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins.
Impact Montreal actually out-shot Boston 31-21, but bad bounces and bad defensive play gave the Bruins an early 2-0 lead and the Habs never recovered. Allen remains winless in March, going 0-6-1 with a brutal 4.88 GAA and .853 save percentage, but with his team playing for nothing but better positioning in the draft lottery, the netminder will likely continue to see regular work over the final weeks.

In goal Thursday Allen will get the starting nod on the road against the Bruins on Thursday, Marc Antoine Godin of The Athletic reports.
Impact Allen has conceded six goals in each of his previous two contests, posting a combined .636 save percentage and 15.84 GAA. In fact, the veteran backstop is winless in six straight, having posted an 0-5-1 record over that stretch. With only a few games left this season, Allen almost certainly will miss the 20-win mark for the fifth straight campaign.

Brutal night in relief Allen took the loss Thursday as the Canadiens were downed 9-5 by the Panthers, replacing Sam Montembeault early in the first period but then giving up six goals on 18 shots in a li...
Impact Montembeault gave up three quick goals to get the hook, but Allen's performance was bad enough that Habs coach Martin St. Louis was forced to turn the team's crease into a revolving door and put Montembeault back in. Allen is having a disastrous March, coughing up six goals in two straight appearances and going 0-5-1 in six games with a 5.03 GAA and .858 save percentage. Both Montreal goalies are radioactive for fantasy purposes right now -- the team's surrendered 21 goals in its last three games -- but Allen in particular cannot be used until he offers proof he's snapped out of this funk.

First player off Monday Allen was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Avalanche play-by-play announcer Conor McGahey reports, indicating he'll be in goal versus Colorado.
Impact Allen has lost four straight contests, posting a 0-3-1 record and 2.99 GAA in those contests. At this point, the veteran netminder could struggle to reach the 20-win mark for the fifth straight season, having last reached that mark back in 2017-18 when with the Blues.

Pulled after surrendering six goals Allen allowed six goals on 15 shots before being pulled from Montreal's 8-4 loss to Colorado on Monday.
Impact Allen left the game early in the second period with Montreal down 6-1. Sam Montembeault stepped in, but the Canadiens couldn't climb out of the hole, and Allen was charged with the loss.
