Samuel Montembeault to face Kings tomorrow

Finally, you might say.

For the first time since October, a Habs goaltender will get a second straight start. I say this because Martin St-Louis has just announced that Samuel Montembeault will be in uniform tomorrow.

It’s my colleague Maxime Truman who will be happy, he who wanted to see the Habs’ best goalie play more often – like many people.

Normally, if we had followed the rotation plan, Cayden Primeau would have been the one to face the Kings. But against a big opponent at home, the time was right to break the formula.

Primeau looked bad in his last game and the Kings are a big hockey club. #WorkHisMittens

It’s debatable whether Jake Allen or Cayden Primeau will be the starting goalie for Saturday’s game in Buffalo, but that’s a long way off. The main thing is tomorrow night’s duel.
