The Montreal Canadiens and goaltender Jake Allen have agreed to a two-year extension with an average annual value of $3.85 million, the team announced Saturday.
Allen's new deal begins next season. He was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2022-23 campaign.
The 32-year-old is set to enter the year as the Canadiens' No. 1 goalie, as Carey Price is unlikely to play this season due to knee problems.
