Martin St-Louis has confirmed the rumor, and we have the details
With the performances Samuel Montembeault has given the Canadiens this season, he didn't deserve to be abandoned by his teammates as was the case in his last start on Saturday against the Bruins.
Monty allowed 8 goals, and the entire team collapsed in the third period. A thorough beating from one of the best teams in the league.
It was expected that Martin St-Louis would immediately give his young goaltender a chance to redeem himself on Tuesday against Ottawa, but Jake Allen ended up in the net. The result wasn't much better.
Montembeault will finally make his return tonight against the Islanders. He will undoubtedly be hungry, and in my opinion, he will be very difficult to beat.
There is currently some controversy within the team. Monty reportedly made a comment that wasn't appreciated by the players after the loss in Boston, according to Jeff Gorton.
Now is the perfect time to strengthen the bonds between the players, with a victory tonight at the Bell Centre, facing Patrick Roy's squad.
