Two games in a row: Samuel Montembeault to face Islanders tomorrow – Canada Boosts

Yesterday, we discovered that Cayden Primeau had missed training to endure therapy. Inevitably, this raised questions on Saturday’s sport.

In spite of everything, it was his flip to play, in response to the rotation. Was he going to play the final sport of the 12 months at dwelling when the opposite two goalkeepers are prone to be more healthy? That was the query on everybody’s thoughts yesterday.

And if not, will this open the door to Jake Allen? Or will Samuel Montembeault as soon as once more get the prospect to play twice in a row? #JouerAuMérite

And clearly, Martin St-Louis has made up his thoughts: it’s Samuel Montembeault who will get a second sport in a row. Though he misplaced his sport on Wednesday.

Does this imply that MSL considers the Quebecer its #1 goaltender? Since Jake Allen and Cayden Primeau received’t have performed all week, it’s protected to imagine so.

In any case, whether or not he’s #1 or not, it’s clear that he’s the hottest goalie round. He’s the man you need in internet to win, he’s the man the fellows wish to play in entrance of, and that’s what’s taking place.

For the second, based mostly on the previous few video games, we really feel that the three-man rotation is being (considerably) retained, however that Montembeault is enjoying twice out of 4 (and twice in a row) as a substitute of as soon as out of three.

Over the following few days, we’ll see if this stays true.

Subsequent week, after Saturday’s sport, there are three video games left earlier than Christmas: Monday in Winnipeg, Thursday in Minnesota and Friday in Chicago. If Primeau is wholesome, will it’s Allen, Primeau and Montembeault? Will all three play, however in a special order?

That’s one risk. To be continued…
