Jake Allen Getting The Start Monday
11 months agoMontreal Canadiens goaltender Jake Allen is the starting goaltender for Monday's game against the visiting Colorado Avalanche. It's just the second start of the New Year for Allen after he yielded five goals in a 6-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Jan. 4. For the season, the veteran sports a 3.52 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage across just 14 outings, going 4-8-2 in that time. As a result of the poor play, the bulk of starts have been going to Sam Montembeault who has out-performed Allen with a 2.89 GAA and a .909 Sv% across 20 appearances (19 starts). It's a tall task on Monday night for Allen against a dangerous Avalanche offense that sits second in the NHL while averaging 3.67 goals per game.
