"I think once we realized that it was going to happen, towards the end of camp and throughout the year - internally, we knew it wasn't going to be a short-term thing - we just had to accept it for what it is and deal with it," said Allen. "I really thought that Cayden (Primeau) had a great training camp, Sam (Montembeault) obviously proved that he's an elite goalie in this league, so you just have to have a good perspective on things."
"But I also think it's been beneficial for us. As goaltenders, individually, we've played pretty solidly so far this year. We had to find ways to take advantage of it. We have more time to practice, a guy gets a break and a night off, it allows you to refresh mentally. It's something new for all of us, but you have to handle it the right way."
