He did so in grand fashion, too, stopping all 33 shots he faced to shut out the rival Boston Bruins at TD Garden.
Next up on the Habs' all-time list is another legend: Jacques Plante, who managed 314 wins in 556 games with Montreal from 1952-63.

Allen owned a .876 save percentage and 3.93 goals-against average before allowing three goals on 19 shots Saturday.
Johnson has served as primarily a backup throughout his career, never starting more than 40 games in a season.

Kings lose Quick again to lower-body injury
Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick is day to day with a lower-body injury and will be re-evaluated next week, the team announced, according to Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West.
Quick was injured in the first game of the season and didn't return until Oct. 18, though The Athletic's Lisa Dillman notes his most recent injury is not the same as before.
Injuries aside, Quick's start to the season has not been ideal, as he's 0-3-1 with an .845 save percentage and a 4.55 goals-against average.
The Kings have struggled with or without Quick in the crease, though, opening the season with a 2-7-1 record.
Veteran netminder Peter Budaj has been recalled from the AHL, though Jack Campbell will likely handle the bulk of the starts in Quick's absence. Campbell has been stellar when called upon, owning a .917 save percentage and a 2.67 goals-against average.

Matthews suffers shoulder injury vs. Jets, will be re-evaluated Monday
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews left Saturday's contest against the Winnipeg Jets in noticeable discomfort after a hard hit from defenseman Jacob Trouba, and subsequently missed the remainder of the game with a shoulder injury.
After the game, a 3-2 victory, head coach Mike Babcock was asked about Matthews' status:
"He's got a shoulder injury, we'll look at it on Monday and we'll know more on Monday," Babcock said. "He won't be playing on Monday. We'll know more at that time. We'll give you an update on Monday if he's not ready right away, for sure."
Here's a look at the play:

Entering Saturday's matchup, Matthews had recorded 10 goals and six assists in 10 games.

Jets likely starting slumping Laine on 4th line vs. Maple Leafs
Is Patrik Laine in Paul Maurice's doghouse?
The Winnipeg Jets forward will likely begin Saturday night's tilt against the Toronto Maple Leafs on the fourth line, Maurice said, according to the Winnipeg Sun's Scott Billeck.
Laine received a mid-game demotion on Friday against the Detroit Red Wings.
The winger has been ice cold to start the 2018-19 campaign, as he's failed to score at even strength through 11 games after finishing second in the league with 44 goals a year ago.
If Maurice is frustrated with the lack of production from his sniper, he didn't show it while speaking to reporters on Saturday.
Maurice insists that Laine's demotion was made because Mathieu Perreault was buzzing and he wanted to give him more ice time. He also came to Laine's defense when asked what he needs to start seeing out of the youngster.
"He's 20. He's going to keep getting better," Maurice told TSN's Mark Masters.
Laine still logged 17 minutes on Friday despite the mid-game demotion - primarily because the Jets had five power plays.
Here's what Winnipeg's lines will look like for Saturday's contest, according to Daily Faceoff.
LW | C | RW |
---|---|---|
Nikolaj Ehlers | Mark Scheifele | Blake Wheeler |
Kyle Connor | Bryan Little | Mathieu Perreault |
Andrew Copp | Adam Lowry | Brandon Tanev |
Brendan Lemieux | Jack Roslovic | Patrik Laine |
The Jets and Maple Leafs just met on Wednesday, with Toronto coming out on top 4-2.
