The Montreal Canadiens and especially Martin St-Louis have an important decision to make before facing the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night.

Indeed, after the loss against the New York Rangers on Saturday night, a very important question arises. Who will be in goal between Samuel Montembeault and Jakub Dobes?

The fans, for their part, seem to have already made up their minds. According to a poll published by Anthony Martineau, more than 80% of respondents want Martin St-Louis to give the net to the young Dobes against Buffalo.

“Who are you giving the match to tomorrow against Buffalo? Why?”

– Anthony Martineau

I must admit that this figure doesn’t really surprise me when you remember his last two games.

I think that, even though he only needed 17 saves, he was decisive at key moments.

“In the third, I didn’t make that save that maybe could have allowed us to win before overtime. I owed the guys one.”

– Jakub Dobes

Montembeault, for his part, had a tougher night on Saturday, allowing four goals on 18 shots against the Rangers.

In my opinion, I think Martin St-Louis should bet on the hot hand. Dobes is playing well. I’d like to see him in net again.
