Martin St-Louis forced to make changes following the Guhle suspension

In a press conference over the last few minutes, the head coach of the Montreal Canadiens, Martin St-Louis, made two announcements.

Firstly, as we reported earlier, Cayden Primeau is giving up his spot to Samuel Montembeault in goal.


Secondly, Martin was asked the question several times during his press conference, but it's Johnatan Kovacevic who replaces Kaiden Guhle (suspension).



However, Martin refused to reveal his exact defensive pairings. That settles the matter.

Kovacevic, 26 years old, 6 feet 5 inches and 225 pounds, is a right-handed defenseman who has amassed 9 points in 55 games this season, including 6 goals. (40 minutes in penalties and a strong positive differential of +9)



Montembeault, 27 years old, has a record of 14-13-7 this season, a goals against average of 3.06 and a save percentage of 0.905.

He won his first game since February 27th last Tuesday, and he was solid.

As for Primeau, the 24-year-old goalie has a record of 8-7-2 this season, a goals against average of 2.75, and a save percentage of 0.913.
