We have two pieces of news to share following today’s press conference with Montreal Canadiens’ head coach, Martin St-Louis.
First, we knew that the decision on the starting goalie for tomorrow would say a lot about the hierarchy of the Canadiens’ goalies.
Well, bad news for young Jakub Dobes, he is still the number two goalie, and it is Samuel Montembeault who will be starting tomorrow in Detroit.
For the first time in a while, Dobes will therefore miss his turn.
Samuel Montembeault in goal and no further call-up from Laval Rocket
The other matter we were closely monitoring was the possibility of another call-up from Laval, knowing that Owen Beck was reassigned earlier today.
Martin St-Louis has just announced that there will be no further call-ups, and the team will go to Detroit with the current roster, meaning Michael Pezzetta is likely to rejoin the lineup as soon as tomorrow night against the Red Wings.
«With the reassignment of Owen Beck, Martin St-Louis says he does not expect any other player to be called up from Laval before Thursday’s game – they will go with what they have.»- Via Priyanta Emrith
At 23 years old, 6 feet 4 inches tall and 215 pounds, Dobes has a record of 5-0-0 this season, with a goals-against average of 1.55 and a save percentage of 0.941.
At 28 years old, 6 feet 3 inches tall and 218 pounds, Montembeault has a record of 17-16-3 this season, with a goals-against average of 2.95 and a save percentage of 0.899.
Would you have made the same decision?
