Samuel Montembeault hasn’t often had the luxury of five-goal support from his teammates. Until yesterday, the Habs had scored three times on just one chance in regulation time with the Bécancourois in goal this season.
” It feels good. Especially when many of those goals come early in the game. It helps take the pressure off. »

Thanks to the 31 saves he made, Montembeault improved his record to 3-1-1. He now has an excellent .930 efficiency rating.
” It’s the fun to watch Sam grow up. He’s been solid for us every time he’s been in goal. We trust each of our goalkeepers. They make big saves at the right times. »

Brendan Gallagher got into trouble with Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko in the second period yesterday at the Bell Centre.
Energy, Gallagher is one of those who have displayed the most. Scoring opportunities, a blocked shot that made him suffer and a clash with goalkeeper Thatcher Demko occupied his evening.
