I have no idea how or why this happened, but clearly, we can confirm a major turn of events in the Montreal Canadiens' crease.
Even though Samuel Montembeault hasn't played significantly better than Jakub Dobes in recent games, the plan has completely changed within the Canadiens organization.
While Dobes had nearly all the starts during the Western road trip, Montembeault has now clearly regained his position as the number-one goaltender.
Turn of events confirmed for the Montreal Canadiens: Samuel Montembeault officially reclaims his role as the number-one goaltender
That's what Martin St-Louis confirmed by sending Montembeault back into the net tonight against the Los Angeles Kings.
That means only one small start in nearly two weeks for Dobes.
Another change of guard has taken place in the Habs' net...
"Head coach Martin St-Louis confirmed that Samuel Montembeault will get the start in net against the Kings."

Speaking of tonight's game, let's remember the Canadiens issued a warning for fans, as travel to the Bell Centre tonight will be very difficult.
"Due to a strike by STM staff, there will be no metro and bus service between 5:45 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. today, so please plan your commute accordingly."
