The former seventh-round pick has posted a save percentage below 90.0% in four of his past six, with a cumulative 86.2% mark. Altogether, the Canadiens’ analytics suggest that more high-scoring affairs are on the horizon. Their defensive zone coverage continues to sink the team’s analytics, as the Canadiens have allowed at least 11 high-danger chances in all but one of their last eight matchups. No Eastern Conference team has been worse than the Canadiens in 2023. Likewise, Jake Allen’s set a -17.3 benchmark over his 10 years in the NHL. The Sens are fresh off a monster 6-2 win against the Leafs last night, but goaltending issues could impact their competitiveness against the Habs. Further, they’ve eclipsed 10.0% shooting at five-on-five in four of their previous five. This calendar year, Montreal is a respectable 5-6-1, with three of those victories coming over the past six outings.

Just like the Canadiens, the Sens are struggling this season, they’ve got 47 points and are second to last in the Atlantic division. Meanwhile, the Laval Rocket is also battling a lot of injuries and are currently out of town so recalling someone from the farm team would have caused some logistics problems, the chosen player might not have been able to join the Habs in time. The infirmary is pretty much working at full capacity in Montreal, so much so that the Canadiens are struggling to ice a complete formation.

Ottawa looks to sweep their weekend rivalry series, this time against Montreal.

# Then after that, they have one more game in Montreal on February 25th as well. The undrafted defenseman has a whopping 92 PIMs in 47 games and has the ability to get under the skin of his opponents. - If Mandolese does get the start tonight (due to this being a back-to-back), it’ll be interesting to see how he does. In games two and three he gets to see Ottawa’s two biggest rivalries up close, including a game in Toronto.
