Canadiens Provide Official Update on Sam Montembeault's Injury as Length of His Absence Is Revealed

As a reminder, Montembeault left Game 3 on Friday night in pain and had to be replaced by young Jakub Dobes.

We were eagerly awaiting concrete and official information, directly from the Montreal Canadiens, regarding the length of the number one goalie's injury.

Very good news under the circumstances!

Earlier today, Martin St-Louis mentioned that Montembeault is officially "day-to-day," which is far from the worst-case scenario.

Even better.

We were even told that, as of this morning, Monty was still an option for tonight and still had a chance to play tonight.

The information was even shared by the well-known Elliotte Friedman.

During today's press conference..

Martin St-Louis thus seemed optimistic regarding Monty's injury, at least given the circumstances.

Cayden Primeau was still recalled from the Laval Rocket for obvious reasons, but everything indicates that Montembeault has a real chance of returning for Game 5 in Washington.

At 28 years old, the 6-foot-3, 218-pound goaltender Samuel Montembeault has a record of 0-1-1 in these 2025 playoffs, with a goals-against average of 2.76 and a save percentage of .908.

He has been excellent.
