Canadiens goalie Montembeault exits practice early with injury
The veteran goalie left early after a save attempt and remains under evaluation, leaving Montreal’s plans for Thursday uncertain.
- On Wednesday, October 7, Montreal Canadiens goalie Samuel Montembeault left practice in Brossard early after appearing to injure his right leg while making a save during a drill.
- The injury adds to a growing list of absences for the Montreal Canadiens, who are already missing forward Ivan Demidov, forward Oliver Kapanen, and defenceman Kaiden Guhle due to separate lower-body setbacks.
- Montembeault was expected to make his first start Thursday against the Nashville Predators, while starter Jakub Dobes currently holds a 1-1-1 record with a 4.43 goals-against average.
- Should the injury prove significant, the Montreal Canadiens could recall top prospect Jacob Fowler from the Laval Rocket, where he has posted a 1-1 record with a 1.53 GAA in two games.
- The Canadiens rank 30th in the NHL with 4.67 goals allowed per game, though defenceman Alexandre Carrier said, "Obviously, we can still improve, but it's going in the right direction.
