We now have confirmation of the Montreal Canadiens' starting goaltender for Tuesday night's game against the Ottawa Senators.
There's another change, as Jakub Dobes gives up his spot to Samuel Montembeault, who will once again get the start against the Senators.
Martin St-Louis makes the call and names Samuel Montembeault as the starting goalie
Here is the official announcement from the Habs:
It's unfortunate for the young Dobes, who had a real chance to earn the team's number-one goaltender job, but who couldn't seize the number-one job just yet.
Following this announcement from the Habs, we therefore have a very good idea of the lineup that will be deployed Tuesday night by Martin St-Louis.
And if it were your decision, which one would you have sent in net for the Habs to face the Senators?
Jakub Dobes, 24 years old, is a 6-foot-4, 215-pound goaltender who was a 5th-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 2020.
He has a record of 8-3-2 this season, with a goals-against average of 3.22 and a save percentage of .888.
In his career, he holds a record of 15-7-5, a goals-against average of 2.96, and a save percentage of .899 for the young Dobes.
Samuel Montembeault, 29 years old, is a 6-foot-3, 218-pound goaltender who was a 3rd-round pick of the Florida Panthers in 2015.
He has a record of 5-5-1 this season, with a goals-against average of 3.49 and a save percentage of .864.
More details to come.
