Martin St-Louis addresses the Canadiens' goalie situation following tough loss to the Kings
Several experts are now suggesting that a change might be coming in goal for the Montreal Canadiens ahead of tomorrow's game.
During last night's press conference,
Martin St-Louis gave a very interesting response when asked about Samuel Montembeault's confidence.

Martin St-Louis says he's not concerned about Sam Montembeault's confidence:
"I think we have 2 goalies, we've played pretty well as a group, we weren't sharp in front of Monty tonight so I'm not worried."

Notice how he oddly redirected the discussion to the fact that they can also rely on Jakub Dobes.
Yes, the tone seems to be shifting...
It's interesting that he began his response by emphasizing that they have two goalies - many see that as a hint that he may be turning to Jakub Dobes...
Martin St-Louis seems to drop a hint in favor of Jakub Dobes
On several occasions last night during that same press conference, St-Louis himself brought up Dobes' name - directly or indirectly - in the discussion.
You can watch the press conference here:
Samuel Montembeault, 29, has a record of 4-4-1 this season with a 3.52 goals-against average and a .861 save percentage.
Jakub Dobes, 24, has a 6-0-1 record with a 2.25 goals-against average and an impressive .920 save percentage.
We'll likely get an answer later today.
And if it were your decision, who would you start in goal for the Canadiens tomorrow night?
