Just hours before the match against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Canadiens' head coach, Martin St-Louis, was at a press conference.

He announced, without any surprise, that Samuel Montembeault will indeed be in goal for his team and will get the start.

It was his turn to play, and moreover, the young Cayden Primeau unfortunately had a shaky outing in his most recent appearance. (against the Tampa Bay Lightning)

Montembeault, 27, has a record of 15-14-7 this season, a goals-against average of 3.03, and a save percentage of 0.906.

Matthews, 26, has scored 63 goals in 74 games this season, and a total of 99 points. He will try to collect his 100th of the season tonight at the Bell Centre.

"Tonight:

Inserted: Tanner Pearson, Justin Barron, Johnathan Kovacevic
Removed: Jesse Ylönen, Kaiden Guhle, Arber Xhekaj
Samuel Montembeault in goal"
