Allen left the game near the end of the first period after a flurry in front of the Canadiens' net that led to Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews scoring to give Toronto a 1-0 lead.

The 31-year-old left the game after allowing one goal on 15 shots and was replaced by goaltender Sam Montembeault.

The 22-year-old Primeau has appeared in 12 games with the Canadiens this season, posting a 1-7-1 record with a 4.62 goals-against average and a .868 save percentage.
