The Montreal Canadiens have made an important decision ahead of Thursday night’s game against the New Jersey Devils.<\/p>\n

And that decision involves the most closely watched position on the team this season.<\/p>\n

It’s a topic that’s been talked about a lot since the start of the season…<\/p>\n

Every day, people are closely watching what Martin St-Louis will do in goal.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere was heavy.<\/p>\n

Then, the crowd started chanting his name when he saved the team during the final two periods.<\/p>\n

A strange night… a night that leaves a mark.<\/p>\n

So the question was whether the coach would give him the net again right away, to let him bounce back.<\/p>\n

But the answer came today.<\/p>\n

The Canadiens Confirm Jakub Dobes<\/a> as Starting Goalie Against the Devils<\/p>\n

It’s Jakub Dobes who will get the start Thursday night at the Prudential Center.<\/p>\n

“Dobes will be in net against the Devils on Thursday”<\/p>\n

– Montreal Canadiens<\/p>\n

I think this decision makes sense in the current context.<\/p>\n

Montembeault just played a very demanding game, both physically and mentally.<\/p>\n

He faced 38 shots, on top of having to deal with the crowd’s reactions.<\/p>\n

I believe the Canadiens’ staff wants to avoid burning out their goalie too quickly.<\/p>\n

We’re talking about a long season, energy management, and a long-term vision.<\/p>\n

Nicolas Cloutier spoke about this topic, and also shared an update on Nick Suzuki<\/a>‘s health:”Dobes Tomorrow, Suzuki will play too, even though he’s absent this morning due to treatments.”<\/p>\n

– Cloutier<\/p>\n

So it will be Dobes vs. Devils, Thursday night, 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
