Jake Allen, the New Jersey Devils goaltender, has always admired Samuel Montembeault, his former teammate from the Montreal Canadiens.

Despite their competition for playing time, Allen played a crucial role in Montembeault's development, even as Montembeault began to take over as the Canadiens' number-one goalie.

After a recent game between the Devils and the Canadiens, Allen made his support for Montembeault clear, directing a message to Team Canada General Manager Doug Armstrong. Allen believes that Montembeault deserves consideration to represent Canada in upcoming international competitions.

«It might just be preseason games, but I think he has a lot to prove,» Allen said. «I think he should be considered for Team Canada, and that should be his goal this season.»


Montembeault's candidacy for Team Canada is becoming a key talking point, especially with tournaments like the Four Nations Cup and the upcoming Olympics on the horizon. At 27, the Quebec-born goaltender stood out last season despite the Canadiens' struggles, posting a 3.14 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage.

With a positive record of 16-15-9, Montembeault has shown growth, and his progress will be closely monitored as he continues with the Canadiens this season. If his performances keep improving, he could emerge as a serious contender to represent Canada on the international stage.
