First off, Jake Allen is officially out for the season with what is officially now his third groin injury of the season.

Statistically, Allen had the worst season of his career. In 35 games he finishes with a 9-20-4 record to go along with a 3.30 goals against average tagged with a .905 save percentage. All career worst statistics except for the losses where the most he piled up was during the 2017-18 season where he had 25 losses in 59 games.

Allen was also in the middle of trade rumors heading into the trade deadline with persistent rumors that he was close to being traded to the Edmonton Oilers. With the surplus of goaltenders on the team once Carey Price returns, it will be interesting to see what the future of Allen will be.
