Canadiens Make Crucial Goaltending Decision Ahead of Highly Anticipated Game vs Maple Leafs
We were talking about it a few minutes ago, but we were waiting for an announcement from the Montreal Canadiens regarding Jakub Dobes and Samuel Montembeault.
We were looking forward to the 4:30 PM press conference, especially to find out who would be in net tonight, but now we already have our answer.
We have another change in net as Samuel Montembeault replaces Jakub Dobes in goal
See the confirmation.

This means that once again, there will be a change in net, and the same goalie will not stay in goal for two consecutive games.
This is absolutely the logical decision.
Jakub Dobes is sensational, but Samuel Montembeault is also excellent, and above all, he hasn't done anything to deserve being skipped.
Dobes should be back in goal for his team as soon as tomorrow, live from the Bell Centre, facing the New York Rangers.
At 23 years old, 6 feet 4 inches, and 215 pounds, Dobes has a record of 4-0-0 this season, with a goals-against average of 0.98 and a save percentage of 0.963.
At 28 years old, 6 feet 3 inches, and 218 pounds, Montembeault has a record of 16-15-3 this season, with a goals-against average of 2.88 and a save percentage of 0.900.
Details to follow.
