We had a surprising announcement from the Canadiens in the past few minutes, and it involves goalies Jakub Dobes and Samuel Montembeault.
Martin St-Louis announced a big change in the rotation of his masked men.
For several games, goalies Dobes and Montembeault have simply been alternating starts.
Especially after the loss to the Anaheim Ducks, we were expecting to see the rookie goalie in net against the San Jose Sharks, but no.
The Canadiens break the rotation between the two goalies and announce that Samuel Montembeault will be in net tomorrow
See the confirmation right here:
It will thus be a second consecutive start for the Quebecer.
This confirms that Monty is indeed still the number 1 goalie for the Montreal Canadiens and Martin St-Louis.
He will get additional minutes in preparation for the upcoming Four Nations confrontation, which is fast approaching.
At 23 years old, 6 feet 4 inches, and 215 pounds, Dobes has a record of 5-1-1 this season, with a goals-against average of 2.10 and a save percentage of 0.927.
At 28 years old, 6 feet 3 inches, and 218 pounds, Montembeault has a record of 17-19-3 this season, with a goals-against average of 2.99 and a save percentage of 0.898.
Against the Ducks, he allowed three goals on 22 shots.
Speaking of changes, let’s recall that Martin St-Louis really shook things up today, especially regarding the lines, Patrik Laine got demoted after a poor game against the Ducks.
