The Montreal Canadiens are counting on continuity against the Buffalo Sabres with Jakub Dobes in goal and Zachary Bolduc still on the fourth line.

This line, the least used against the New York Rangers on Saturday night, will have a new opportunity to make its mark at the Bell Centre.

Martin St. Louis asks Zachary Bolduc to maintain the same approach no matter what

Interviewer: “Was Zachary Bolduc, by necessity, penalized in terms of ice time?

Are we talking about equal strength? In what way can he be just as effective with more limited playing time?”

Martin St-Louis: “Play the game, play the game that is in front of you, play the game.”

This means that management wants to give the young player time to adapt and learn, without shaking up the offensive combinations too much for now.

It’s worth remembering, however, that Bolduc started the season on the second line.

The Canadiens are in their fourth consecutive home game, a game that will have a festive atmosphere with a country theme.

After a narrow loss against the New York Rangers, the team wants to finish this home stretch on a positive note before a long road trip.

As we reported earlier, Dobes will have the chance to prove that he can establish himself in the NHL, while Samuel Montembeault enjoys a bit of rest.

Meanwhile, the Buffalo Sabres arrive with confidence, having won two straight games, including an impressive shutout against the Florida Panthers the day before yesterday.

I sincerely think this game could tell us a lot about the depth of our Habs.
