Martin St-Louis says he's not concerned about Sam Montembeault's confidence:

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?
