The games follow, but do not resemble each other for the Canadiens. Martin St-Louis might be forced to announce a major change to his lineup.

Indeed, by his own admission, Samuel Montembeault is not at his best currently, and conversely, Cayden Primeau offers better chances for the team to win.

Once again, on Sunday, he stopped 41 of the 45 shots directed at him. On the other hand, Samuel has been shaky in his recent starts.

These comments are quite revealing. Will Martin St-Louis be inclined to play Cayden Primeau more often until the end of the season? It remains to be seen, but don't be surprised if it happens.

Samuel has not received the team's blessing regarding his status as the number one goalie. Is it time to consider that it might never happen? That remains to be seen.
