He has a 2.86 goals-against-average and a .902 save percentage. His record is 4-8-1.<\/p>\n<p>This is Allen&#8217;s second season in Montreal. In the 2020 offseason, he was traded from the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/blues\/\" target=\"_self\">St. Louis Blues<\/a> with a 2022 seventh-round pick for a third and seventh-round pick in 2020. Allen had similar numbers last season, with a 2.68 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage. His record was 11-12-5.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/blues\/\" target=\"_self\">St. Louis Blues<\/a> drafted Jake Allen 34th overall in the 2008 draft from the St. John&#8217;s Fog Devils of the QMJHL. Allen became a regular for the Blues during the 2014-15 season and was their starting goaltender for most of that time until <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/binnijo01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jordan Binnington<\/a> became the team&#8217;s starter early in 2019. Allen won the Stanley Cup with the Blues that same season.<\/p>\n<h3>What Does This Mean for the Canadiens<\/h3>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/priceca01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carey Price<\/a> out, Jake Allen is arguably Montreal&#8217;s most irreplaceable player, so losing him for any period of time will be a massive blow. They are trying to climb themselves out of a poor start and need Allen, who is by far their best goaltender right now, to do it. Their backup is Sam Montembeault, a promising 24-year-old goaltender who Montreal claimed off waivers before the start of the season from the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/panthers\/\" target=\"_self\">Florida Panthers<\/a>. He&#8217;s played 29 games over the past four seasons with a 3.26 goals-against average and a .891 save percentage.<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side for Montreal, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/primeca01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cayden Primeau<\/a> is playing well in the AHL right now. In nine games, he has 2.41 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage. If Montreal does need to bring up a goalie, the 22-year-old is the likely candidate.<\/p>\n<p>There is no timeline when Price will be back playing.
