MONTREAL – Goaltender Jake Allen is the recipient of the Molson Cup for the month of October.
Allen was named the first star of the game on two occasions (October 21st against Washington and October 23rd at Buffalo) and the third star on one occasion (October 28th against Winnipeg). In four games played in October, the 33-year-old goaltender posted a record of 3-0-1, along with maintaining a goals-against average of 2.63. His save percentage of .930 ranks him seventh in the NHL among goaltenders who have played at least four games during this period. Allen became the 14th active goaltender to reach the 400-game mark in the NHL, on November 2nd in Arizona.
A presentation honoring the Molson Cup laureate for the month of October will take place before Tuesday night's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning at the Bell Centre.
