Logic will be respected and Samuel Montembeault will be in front of the Canadian’s net for the game against the Blue Jackets on Wednesday in Columbus.
Head coach Martin St-Louis confirmed this after the team’s practice on Monday.
This will be a 10th start for the Quebecer this season. He was the starting goalie during CH’s last victory, on November 22, over the Anaheim Ducks.
Jake Allen was the starter in the 4-0 loss against the Kings in Los Angeles and Cayden Primeau added a victory to his record last Friday when the Habs beat the Sharks 3-2 in San José.
Montembeault, who will become a free agent at the end of this season, has still not signed a new contract.
Asked if he was trying to offer a rotation with predetermined starts to the three goalkeepers, St-Louis remained cautious.
A little bit, the coach admitted. But their performance is also part of the equation, all three must play.
After the first quarter of the season, the Canadian has 9 wins, 10 losses and 2 overtime losses. Martin St-Louis says he is happy with the progress he has made. We are almost playing for .500 after around twenty matches. With injuries and everything, I’m happy with the progress.
