(LOS ANGELES) The Canadian will not make any changes to his roster on Saturday for the game against the Kings.
This is to say that Jake Allen will defend the net of the Habs. This will be the seventh straight start for the New Brunswicker. Thursday, he signed his first shutout in the Montreal uniform by stopping the 45 shots of the San Jose Sharks.
Ducharme said he has yet to determine if he will take advantage of the weekend’s double-scheduled to give Samuel Montembeault a start. CH take on the Ducks in Anaheim on Sunday afternoon.
Jake Evans will miss a third game in a row due to an injury whose nature has not been disclosed. He missed the October 19 game before coming back for two games and has been sidelined since.
“He’s getting better and better, but we really want him to be 100%,” said Ducharme. Not that he could make his injury worse, but he wasn’t quite 100% [à son premier retour au jeu] and it affected him in the way he played. ”
The game begins at 1 p.m. PT.
