Before tonight's game between the Canadiens and the Washington Capitals, live from Montreal, David Pagnotta shared a new note on the team's goalie situation.
He commented on the possibility that the Canadiens could explore a goalie move.
According to what the well-known Pagnotta is reporting, a rumour indicates that Kent Hughes is currently open to trading one of his two goalies.
"They've kept going back to Montembeault; either they're trying to get him going... or they're trying to... say hey... we have two decent goalies, we'll listen on one; I don't know if they're there yet."

There has been some discussion lately, but nothing suggests the Canadiens are actively pursuing a trade.
New discussion emerges around the Canadiens' goalie situation involving Montembeault and Dobes
There have been a few mentions lately, but there's no clear indication that anything is close. This is the first time Dobes' name has come up more prominently in fan and media discussion.
Does Jacob Fowler's strong play with the Laval Rocket have anything to do with this?
Samuel Montembeault, 29 years old, has a 4-5-1 record this season, with a goals-against average of 3.56 and a save percentage of 0.858.
Jakub Dobes, 24 years old, has a 6-1-2 record this season, with a goals-against average of 2.71 and a save percentage of 0.898.
