"I think once we realized that this was going to happen, towards the end of camp and throughout the year - internally, we knew it was not 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 Cayden (Primeau) had an excellent training camp, Sam (Montembeault) has obviously proven he's an elite goalie in this league, so you just have to have a good way of looking at things."
"But I also think it's been beneficial to us. As goalies, individually, we've played pretty solidly so far this year. We had to find ways to benefit from it. We get more time to train, one guy gets a break and an evening off, it allows for mental refreshment. It's something new for all of us, but we have to approach it the right way."
