• Canadiens' Jake Allen: Done for season

  04/12/2022 •

  Allen will miss the remainder of the campaign with a groin injury. Although Allen is done for the year, he's expected to make a full recovery in time for next season's training camp. For now, it appears as though Carey Price (knee) will play in 2022-23, but it remains to be seen if he'll still be with the Canadiens or perhaps playing elsewhere in search of a Stanley Cup. If Price is with Montreal, it's safe to assume Allen's workload will be significantly reduced next year. However, if Price is suiting up for a different team, Allen should have a similar workload to what he took on in 2021-22. Allen will finish the season having gone 9-20-4 with a 3.30 GAA and .905 save percentage through 35 appearances.

With Carey Price (knee) still working his way back and Allen sidelined, Sam Montembeault will step into the starting role versus the Jets and possibly beyond.

  Allen will guard the road cage during Saturday's matchup with the Maple Leafs, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports. Allen was a little shaky in his last start Thursday against the Devils, allowing four goals on 37 shots, but he was still able to come away with a win thanks to fantastic goal support from his teammates. He'll attempt to secure a second straight victory in a tough road matchup with a Toronto team that's averaging 3.65 goals per game at home this season, sixth in the NHL.
