Indeed, he officially announced that Samuel Montembeault will be in goal for the Canadiens tomorrow night in the matchup against the Minnesota Wild. It is evident that the head coach of the Tricolore is increasingly trusting the Quebec goaltender, demonstrating that he is undoubtedly the future number one of the organization.
If some doubted his real potential, he is clearly proving his critics wrong, being one of the best goalies in the entire NHL at five-on-five. Additionally, the 27-year-old goalie is greatly helping the Montreal team to earn points in the standings, having recorded a record of seven wins, four losses, and two overtime defeats this year.
Certainly, it's a safe bet that the CH's general manager, Kent Hughes, is very satisfied to see his protege accumulate victories, especially after the vote of confidence he gave him by granting a three-season contract extension.
