(Montreal) Goaltender Jake Allen is the recipient of the Molson Cup for the October segment with the Montreal Canadiens.
The team made the announcement in a press release Monday morning.
Allen was named first star of the game on two occasions, on October 21 against the Washington Capitals and two days later against the Buffalo Sabres. He also earned the third star on October 28 against the Winnipeg Jets.
In four games played in October, the 33-year-old goaltender had a 3-0-1 record, in addition to maintaining a goals-against average of 2.63.
His .930 save percentage ranks seventh in the NHL among goaltenders who have played at least four games during that span.
Allen became the 14e active goaltender to reach the milestone of 400 games in the NHL, on November 2 against the Coyotes in Arizona.
A presentation honoring the Molson Cup winner for the month of October will take place before Tuesday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning at the Bell Centre.
