In the last few minutes, the head coach of the Montreal Canadiens, Martin St-Louis, has confirmed that Quebec goaltender Samuel Montembeault will be back in net, starting against the Dallas Stars tonight.
After a dazzling start to the season, the 27-year-old goalie has faced some challenges recently, securing only one victory in his last five games. There's no doubt that Samuel Montembeault will certainly aim to end this unpleasant streak, attempting to help the Canadiens win their first game since December 22nd.
Despite his recent struggles, the number 35 of the Bleu-Blanc-Rouge still has interesting statistics this year, having compiled a record of seven wins, five losses, and three overtime defeats. He also recorded a goals-against average of 2.94 and a save percentage of 0.903, both personal career highs.
