The rotation continues in front of the Canadiens net.
It will be Jake Allen’s turn to be the starting goalie on Monday when the Colorado Avalanche visit Montreal.
This was announced by head coach Martin St-Louis after Sunday training. Watch his press briefing today in the video above.
In his last start, on January 4, Allen allowed five goals on 37 shots in a 6-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.
Since then, CH has played four matches. Samuel Montembeault was automatically involved three times, while Cayden Primeau faced the Flyers in Philadelphia on Wednesday.
Against the Avalanche, the Habs will try to stop their series of losses at three. On Saturday, he lost 2-1 in overtime to the Edmonton Oilers.
Drouin is fine
At the same time, the Avalanche overcame a three-goal deficit to win 5-3 against the Maple Leafs in Toronto.
Jonathan Drouin has started his team’s comeback. At the start of the second period, the former CH reduced the gap to 3-1 thanks to a perfect shot.
The Quebecer then added an assist to his record on Nathan MacKinnon’s goal, which allowed the visitors to take the lead for the first time in the match.
With the defeat of the Winnipeg Jets against the Philadelphia Flyers, combined with this victory against the Leafs, the Avalanche are only a small point behind the Manitoba team at the top of the Central section.
For their part, the Montrealers occupy sixth place in the Metropolitan section with 41 points (17-18-7).
