During his first appearance of the evening, during the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Capitals, Renaud Lavoie spoke about Samuel Montembeault.
He revisited the topic of the day, which is the length of Montembeault's absence.
The TVA Sports journalist had good news, given the circumstances.
He mentioned that if Montembeault had no chance of returning during this first-round series against the Washington Capitals, we would already know.
Renaud Lavoie believes that the length of Samuel Montembeault's absence will not necessarily exceed the first-round series between the Canadiens and the Capitals
That's certainly positive.
However, analyst Patrick Lalime, speaking from experience, mentioned a possible absence of three weeks.
It will be something to monitor, but overall, we can remain optimistic.
Renaud Lavoie believes Samuel Montembeault could return against the Capitals, and the Canadiens are officially listing him as "day-to-day."
We will keep a close watch for you, but Renaud Lavoie is categorical.
If Monty's injury were serious enough, we would already know.
The expression "no news is good news" fits perfectly here.
At 28 years old, the 6-foot-3, 218-pound goaltender Samuel Montembeault has a record of 0-1-1 in these 2025 playoffs, with a goals-against average of 2.76 and a save percentage of 0.908.
He has been excellent, but for now, our hopes are turning to young Jakub Dobes, who has also played some very good hockey recently.
