The Canadiens are a rebuilding group who battle through some nights of inconsistent detail defensively. The result is the goaltenders being tasked with more than their share of high danger shots against. Allen's save percentage hovers around .900. His GAA is not sparkling ... but has to be put into context with how the group in front of him plays.
Good size. Butterfly. Tracks pretty well from side to side. Has some issues, occasionally, when play works from low to high and pucks are directed on net through traffic. Better than average low net coverage. Sits tall in his butterfly. Excellent blocker hand. Veteran goalie under contract till end of 24/25.
