Allen makes 42 saves as Canadiens come back to beat Jets 4-3 in shootout
MONTREAL — Goaltender Jake Allen made 42 saves as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 in a shootout on Saturday night.
Montreal captain Nick Suzuki scored to open the shootout and Allen shut the door the rest of the way after a scoreless back-and-forth overtime period.
Justin Barron, Sean Monahan and Joel Armia had the goals for Montreal (5-2-1). Kaiden Guhle pitched in with two assists.
Montreal’s Cole Caufield, who scored the OT winner Thursday in a 4-3 comeback win over Columbus, missed a wide-open cage on a one-timer with 30 seconds left in the extra frame.
