In the last few hours, the head coach of the Montreal Canadiens, Martin St-Louis, has confirmed that the goaltender carousel will continue for the Tricolore. Indeed, the 33-year-old veteran, Jake Allen, will get his 10th start of the season, coming in relief of Cayden Primeau who faced the Florida Panthers on Thursday night.
This means that the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge will alternate goalies for a 19th consecutive game this year, a situation that absolutely no one expected at the beginning of the season. However, given that Kent Hughes has still not found a solution to the famous goaltender issue, it wouldn't be surprising if this trend continues for a few more weeks.
After an excellent start to the season, the Canadiens' number 34 is having more difficult moments currently, having not won any of his last five games. Moreover, during this stretch, Jake Allen has recorded a goals-against average of 4.55 and a rather disappointing save percentage of 0.876.
