We may have possibly gotten the answer to our question regarding the Montreal Canadiens goaltenders Jakub Dobes and Samuel Montembeault.
After a less impressive performance by Samuel against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night, and another win by the young Dobes, we were eager to see which of the two Martin St-Louis would put back into the mix tonight.
And it seems we now have our answer, thanks to the excellent Anthony Marcotte of BPM Sports.
Samuel Montembeault is doing the starting goalie routine this morning at the Bell Centre
It is therefore expected that Monty will be in goal tonight against Andrei Vasilevskiy and the Tampa Bay Lightning.
«Samuel Montembeault is doing the starter's routine with Éric Raymond.»

There could always be a twist, but normally, this is a fairly clear confirmation.
Big update: it is now confirmed and official!
Montembeault will be in the Canadiens' net tonight.
