It is now confirmed for Samuel Montembeault

The Montreal Canadiens managed, not without effort, to finally win a game against the Buffalo Sabers on Monday afternoon.

The players played very well, apart from two of them, and it was precisely their generosity that almost sank the Canadian.

Michael Matheson played very poorly and he deserved to skip his turn on the first wave of the power play; a subject that has been talked about in recent days.

Many analysts and fans believe that Lane Hutson deserved his chance, while Mike did not have a good game.

Cayden Primeau was really horrible in the victory, so much so that Martin St-Louis had to replace him after 4 minutes of play in the 3rd period.

All this to come to the fact that Martin St-Louis didn’t have much choice and he made a change to the Canadian’s lineup.

Samuel Montembeault will be in net for Thursday night’s game and he will have the difficult task of leading the Canadian to a first victory in Minnesota since 2011.

“The Canadians come to the North Star State with a much-anticipated push – both individually and as a group. Their 7-5 win Monday at Buffalo ended their six-game losing streak, and several players, including Cole Caufield, Kirby Dach, Juraj Slafkovsk and Nick Suzuki, came back to life with a multi-point night.

Samuel Montembeault will protect the Montreal cage against Minnesota. The Canadiens will not hold a morning skate at the Xcel Energy Center on Thursday. »

We therefore did not have to wait until training to have confirmation of Monty’s presence in front of the net. Either way, it’s no surprise to anyone.

I don’t know what Kent Hughes will do with Cayden Primeau, but every time he finds himself in front of the cage, I get stressed. I hope he finds an alternative, because two interesting goalies went on waivers this week and he ignored them.
