It has just been confirmed for Montembeault ahead of tonight's game vs Patrick Roy and the Islanders
We were wondering when Samuel Montembeault would have the opportunity to bare his teeth and get revenge for his tougher outing against the Boston Bruins (after conceding 8 goals), and now we have the answer!
It will be tonight, against Patrick Roy and the New York Islanders!
Samuel Montembeault in goal tonight, announces Martin St-Louis
Following what Jeff Gorton recently mentioned, with his controversial remarks about the tension currently within the Canadiens, it will be really interesting to see the response on the ice tonight.
"Sam Montembeault gets the start for the Montreal Canadiens." - Arpon Basu
A very good decision, even if it's obviously bad news for the young Cayden Primeau, who misses his turn again.
As for Samuel, he has a great opportunity here to demonstrate his strength of character. Montembeault, 27 years old, has a record of 10-7-4 this season, an average of 3.11 goals allowed per game, and a save percentage of 0.903.
Following Gorton' statement, It was to be expected!
