During the game between the Canadiens and the Panthers, Renaud Lavoie confirmed major news regarding Samuel Montembeault on TVA Sports. Indeed, the journalist reported that the goaltender left the team's company on Saturday afternoon to head directly to Tampa Bay to be fully prepared for the showdown against the Lightning.
Obviously, the three-goalie situation with the Canadiens allows the organization to take such initiatives, which is undoubtedly great news for tomorrow night's game. The number 35 was able to rest in the comfort of his hotel room, watching his teammates play on television.
Clearly, there are some advantages to having three goalies in the lineup. Certainly, we are very hopeful that Samuel Montembeault will be in top form against the Lightning if the CH wishes to quickly get back on the winning track.
