Massive Rumour Confirmed Between the Montreal Canadiens and Edmonton Oilers: During the Game Last Night Against Anaheim an Interesting Guest Was in the Press Box

For one of the rare times since the start of the season, the players started off strong, quickly taking a 2-0 lead in the game.

Despite conceding three goals, Samuel Montembeault was excellent, notably saving two big goals with spectacular stops.

However, aside from the game, a special situation caught the attention in the Anaheim press gallery. As reported by journalist Richard Labbé of La Presse, no fewer than eight teams were scouting the CH game, including, unsurprisingly, the Edmonton Oilers.

As mentioned yesterday, Edmonton is closely monitoring the Canadiens' activities. There are ongoing negotiations between the two teams for a potential trade involving a goalie from the club.

Renowned insider Darren Dreger even stated that Montembeault would be a prime target for the Oilers and could bring in a significant return for Kent Hughes under the circumstances.

Moreover, with another tough loss for Edmonton yesterday, where six goals were allowed on 27 shots, it's likely that there's a lot of stirring behind the scenes of the organization.

Monty's strong performance, combined with the Oilers' bitter defeat, could certainly reignite negotiations between the two general managers.
