Major: Martin St-Louis confirms the rumor, and it's not a coincidence

While the Devils are facing all sorts of goaltending difficulties, and the rumors about Jake Allen being traded to New Jersey are strong, Martin St-Louis has just confirmed that it will be him defending the Canadiens' goal.

With a strong performance this afternoon, Allen could very well provide Kent Hughes with strong arguments in negotiations with his Devils counterpart.

Jayden Struble, who got injured in the third period on Thursday night, will miss the game, and Johnathan Kovacevic will be in uniform.
