A major rumor is currently circulating regarding Montreal Canadiens goaltender Samuel Montembeault.
It is true that some rather intriguing things are happening right now within the organization (notably in goal). First, let's recall that St-Louis confirmed in a press conference that Samuel Montembeault was supposed to start for the Canadiens in the game against the St. Louis Blues:
However, he had to withdraw at the last minute (due to a virus, according to the team's official explanation). Jakub Dobes played a second game in as many nights, and Kaapo Kahkonen was called up from the Laval Rocket. Afterward, Kahkonen was immediately sent back to Laval, but the Rocket then surprisingly recalled another goaltender, Hunter Jones.
But what exactly is happening with the goaltenders in the Montreal Canadiens organization?
"This announcement surprised more than a few people.
Why recall a third goaltender to the Rocket if Kahkonen is back in his spot with Jacob Fowler?"
