Goalie Start
Allen will start Thursday vs. the Coyotes.
Allen was incredible in his last start six days ago stopping 37 of 38 shots in a 3-0 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. With the Canadiens having a back-to-back he took the bench for their last game but still carries an impressive .943 SV% and 2.03 GAA as he leads Montreal Thursday. The Canadiens will run into the Coyotes who are coming off their first victory of the season with a 3-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs Monday.
Allen (parental leave) will not be available for Monday's game vs. Pittsburgh.
Allen and his wife are expecting a baby, so he will sit out of Monday's game vs. the Penguins. With Allen unavailable, Cayden Primeau was recalled from Laval (AHL) to serve as Sam Montembeault's backup.

Allen will start the Canadiens' season opener vs. the Maple Leafs.
Jake Allen will get the daunting task of taking on the high-scoring Maple Leafs Wednesday night. Allen has struggled in his two seasons since signing in Montreal as he has a 3.01 GAA and .906 SV% across 62 starts while only winning 20 games. He will look to get the Canadiens out on the right foot as they try to improve on their league-worst record from 2021-22.
During his two seasons in Montreal, Allen has gone 20-23-9 with a 3.01 GAA and .906 SV% in 64 games (62 starts). With Carey Price's uncertain future, Allen gets a two-year deal to help stabilize the Canadiens' crease during their rebuild.
