Goalie Start
Allen will start Thursday vs. the Blackhawks.
Allen will likely miss his fourth straight game on Saturday, meaning Samuel Montembeault will likely start vs. the Predators. Keeping him out on Saturday gives Allen an extra three days rest ahead of next Wednesday's game in Washington.
Allen will miss his second straight game on Tuesday but the Canadiens believe he could be back by the weekend. In the meantime, Cayden Primeau will start in New York.
