Jake Allen sends a strong message to general manager Doug Armstrong regarding Samuel Montembeault
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.
