Jake Allen Set For Canadiens Debut On Monday
4 years agoMontreal Canadiens goaltender Jake Allen will make his debut with his new organization versus the Edmonton Oilers on Monday. The 30-year-old, acquired from the St. Louis Blues over the offseason, is coming off an outstanding season in a backup role in 2019-2020 - collecting 12 wins to go along with a 2.15 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage in 24 appearances. Expected to take on a similar role in Montreal, mainly to give starting netminder Carey Price more rest during a compressed campaign, Allen should be considered a top streaming option most nights in which he takes the crease. Facing a high-powered Oilers team that features superstar Connor McDavid, Monday is not one of those nights he should be trusted.
