OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: AN IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT CONCERNING JAKE ALLEN AND THE VERDICT IS IN

We were anxious to hear about the Montreal Canadiens goaltending situation today, especially because yesterday at a press conference, head coach Martin St-Louis opened the door to several possibilities.

Official announcement

We now have all the answers to our questions.

First of all, it's confirmed. Samuel Montembeault will be the starting goalie tonight against the Boston Bruins




Next, please note that Cayden Primeau is back in his third goalie chair.



So that means Jake Allen looks like he's ready to return to the game, but all indications are that he'll be Montembeault's backup tonight.

This means that despite everything, Montembeault keeps his number one position, for now, and that is absolutely deserved.

More details to come.
