We have a last-minute announcement from the Montreal Canadiens involving goaltender Samuel Montembeault.
Martin St-Louis just surprised everyone in his press conference by announcing that it will NOT be Jakub Dobes, but rather Samuel Montembeault who will be in net for the Canadiens on Saturday night against the Ottawa Senators.
Wow! We didn't see that one coming!
The Canadiens announce that it's Samuel Montembeault, not Jakub Dobes, who will be in goal for the Montreal Canadiens Saturday night at the Bell Centre
Yes, the Quebec native will have a ton of pressure on his shoulders!
"Sam Montembeault will start vs. Ottawa on Saturday"
It's a bold decision from Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St-Louis, but at the same time, he has emphasized and repeated all week that he still has full confidence in Montembeault.
He's now putting his words into action.
I truly and sincerely hope that Samuel has an outstanding game against the Senators. That would be amazing!
