The goaltending situation continues to be a hot topic for the Montreal Canadiens, especially after another tough game for Samuel Montembeault.
The Quebec-born goalie quite literally gifted a goal to forward Kevin Fiala.
And all of that happened right in front of Team Canada executives Don Sweeney and Julien BriseBois, who were at the Bell Centre for the Kings-Canadiens game to evaluate players for the Olympics.
In short, following this difficult outing for Montembeault, two well-known analysts sent a clear message to Martin St-Louis.
It needs to be Jakub Dobes in net for the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday and Saturday: a clear message sent to Martin St-Louis
One of them was David Calabretta (The Fourth Period):
"Dobes Thursday and Saturday!" - David Calabretta
And others chimed in afterward:
"Dobes needs to be in net against Dallas on Thursday.
Love Montembeault but he's not the man right now."
- Jared Dapena
Love Montembeault but he's not the man right now."
- Jared Dapena
That also matches what one of the panelists on L'Antichambre mentioned on RDS last night, after the game.
I'm really curious to see what Martin St-Louis will do, in any case.
Samuel Montembeault, 29, currently has a 4-4-1 record this season, with a goals-against average of 3.52 and a save percentage of .861.
Jakub Dobes, 24, has a 6-0-1 record, with a 2.25 goals-against average and an impressive .920 save percentage.
And according to you - who will be in net for the Montreal Canadiens tomorrow night?
