In a recent press conference, Quebecois goaltender Samuel Montembeault disclosed significant information, confirming a major rumor that had been circulating about him in recent days.
Indeed, the Montreal Canadiens' number 35 confirmed that his agent, Paul Corbeil, and General Manager Kent Hughes, have started discussions about potentially signing a contract extension with the Canadiens.
It remains to be seen how much Kent Hughes will be willing to offer him, having mentioned earlier this week that he wished to remain cautious in negotiations to ensure a contract that is advantageous for both the 27-year-old goaltender and the Canadiens.
Since his debut in the NHL, Samuel Montembeault has compiled a record of 36 wins, 48 losses, and 13 overtime defeats. He has also recorded a goals-against average of 3.44 and a save percentage of 0.897.
However, his statistics are much more impressive this season, with a goals-against average of 2.78 and a save percentage of 0.908 in eight games.
