(Las Vegas) Even though Jake Allen offered a masterful performance on Saturday, it is Samuel Montembeault who will face the Golden Knights this Monday evening in Las Vegas, at the start of a three-game trip.
The Quebecer, who is celebrating his 27th todaye anniversary, also won his last start, last Thursday, against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Defenseman Mike Matheson, who left the game early Saturday due to a “lower body” injury, skated with his teammates Monday morning in Vegas and formed a duo with Johnathan Kovacecic. However, his participation in the duel against the Knights will only be confirmed later during the day, underlined head coach Martin St-Louis.
If the Montrealer is in uniform, the CH formation will be the same as the one that defeated the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday.
The meeting will begin at 10 p.m. Quebec time.
