3 years agoMontreal Canadiens goaltender Sam Montembeault will earn his third start of the campaign in Sunday's road outing against Boston. The 25-year-old is forced to play for a second consecutive night after Jake Allen (upper body) got injured in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss versus the Red Wings. Montreal's current No. 1 lasted only 19:12 and Montembeault made a relief appearance with 22 saves, giving up all three goals. The Canadiens have called up Cayden Primeau to back up Montembeault, who is 0-2-1 for the season with a 3.69 goals-against average and a .885 save percentage. Allen is still being evaluated and Carey Price remains far from his season debut, so Montreal's goalie situation looks pretty worrying right now.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
