Surprise in Net for the Canadiens: Tonight's Starting Goalie Against the Kings Has Been Revealed
Since the beginning of the journey in California, many positive points have emerged for the Montreal Canadiens, including the impressive performances of Juraj Slafkovsky. However, it's undeniable that the goalkeeping has been truly remarkable, with Samuel Montembeault and Cayden Primeau delivering excellent performances in turn.
Many fans expected the Quebec native to return in front of the Montreal net for today's game against the Los Angeles Kings. However, in the last few minutes, Martin St-Louis surprised everyone by confirming that veteran Jake Allen will be the starting goalie.
This is somewhat surprising given that number 34 has only recorded one win in his last four matchups. Clearly, the goalie rotation continues for the Canadiens as the head coach alternates goalkeepers for the 17th consecutive game.
Patrick Friolet stated, "We are told that there will be no changes in offense or defense for the CH this afternoon against the Kings. Jake Allen will be the starting goalie. Allen is looking for his first win in 5 games."
After an exceptional start to the season, Jake Allen now has a record of three wins, four losses, and one overtime defeat, while recording a goals-against average of 3.54 and a save percentage of 0.907.
Do you believe Martin St-Louis made the right decision by putting Jake Allen in the game?
