The Canadiens’ fans are unanimous: they want to see Samuel Montembeault in the net more often. The logic of the current three-way rotation suggests that he will be the starting goaltender tonight, and it’s now confirmed.

Indeed, Monty was going through the routine of the starter this morning, which is usually a reliable indicator.

He will finally have the opportunity to bounce back from the 4-0 loss against the Los Angeles Kings, even though he is not to blame.

Samuel remains one of the best goaltenders in the league at five-on-five this season. He will have the challenging task of stopping the Penguins, but he is more than capable of rising to the occasion.
