It’s only one match, but Samuel Montembeault was superior to Jake Allen. To the extent that the two Canadian goalkeepers experienced difficulties in camp, Montembeault’s performance on Saturday reassured our guests. Let’s see what will happen to their use, but Stéphane Waite recalls that with the CH’s reduced schedule at the start of the season, Cayden Primeau will find himself with his mouth to water again.
It’s quite the opposite for Alex Newhook who, in the absence of Kirby Dach, will be moved to center. That said, the new look of the Canadian’s attack will come second on Tuesday, as Marc-André Fleury arrives in town, possibly for the last time in his illustrious career. Elsewhere in the NHL, Alexander Ovechkin’s check against Erik Karlsson caused our guests to react strongly.
