The rumor is confirmed by Martin St-Louis and the Canadiens

It was believed to be coming, and it was confirmed by Martin St-Louis and the Canadiens.

Indeed, after a more uncertain start Thursday night against Tampa Bay for young Cayden Primeau, it is Samuel Montembeault who will be in goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

It's not surprising given the current rotation, but it's still worth mentioning.

Besides Primeau, Arber Xhekaj and Kaiden Guhle will not be in the game, as they are injured in the upper body.

It's Montembeault, Johnathan Kovacevic, and Justin Barron, freshly recalled from Laval, who will be in uniform. Tanner Pearson also takes the place of Jesse Ylonen.
