We were eagerly waiting to see which goalie Martin St-Louis would send into the fray for tonight's Montreal Canadiens game.
Let's recall that the Habs are hosting the Buffalo Sabres live from the Bell Centre.
After a tougher start to the season for Samuel Montembeault statistically as we mentioned earlier today.
And after an excellent start to the season for Jakub Dobes, Martin St-Louis has finally decided to turn to his young goalie for tonight's game!

The announcement was also confirmed by The Score network.
In short, do you think Martin St-Louis made the right decision here by sending young Jakub Dobes into the fray?

To be continued!
