Normally, a from to twothis implies that two goalkeepers play to avoid one playing two matches in 24 hours. This is the norm in the NHL – much to the chagrin of everyone who knew the old days.
Logically, as the Canadian plays tomorrow night on the road and Saturday night at home against the same team (the Red Wings), we should expect to see Samuel Montembeault play on Saturday.
And now Martin St-Louis, without confirming the identity of his goalkeeper for Saturday’s match, said that it is the Quebecer – and not Cayden Primeau – who will play tomorrow evening, Friday. This will be an eighth straight start for him.
And that tells me a lot about the future.
After all, I don’t see a world in which Monty plays on the road on Friday and it’s Primeau who gets the Saturday night game, just before Christmas, at home.
And since I don’t believe that a Laval goalkeeper will necessarily come to play on Saturday night as a replacement (even if it’s not completely impossible), I want to predict that Monty will play both matches of the from to two.
In fact, expect, at this point and under current conditions, to see him play all three games before Christmas, including Monday December 23.
I really have the feeling that Martin St-Louis doesn’t want to trust Cayden Primeau. Because if he had wanted to give him a match, it would have been tomorrow night, logically.
I wonder how the guard takes this.
Note also that defender Alexandre Carrier, who will join the Canadian in Detroit, will be in uniform tomorrow evening. He will therefore make his debut with his new organization.
Logically expect Michael Pezzetta and Jayden Struble to be in the stands.
In burst
– Alexandre Carrier brings depth to the group.
– To be continued regarding the draft.
– Too bad for the two brothers.
