Martin St-Louis Confirms His Goalie Choice for Tonight's Canucks Clash
Martin St-Louis has confirmed that Jakub Dobes will start in goal for the Canadiens tonight against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena.
The young Czech goaltender will once again have the opportunity to prove that he can make a difference when he's entrusted with the Canadiens' crease.
After Samuel Montembeault's very difficult performance against the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night, Martin St-Louis chose to give the start to Jakub Dobes tonight.
And honestly, I think it's a decision that makes a lot of sense.
The news was first reported by Renaud Lavoie, who wrote:
"Samuel Montembeault, Joshua Roy and Marc Del Gaizo
are the only players on the ice at the optional skate this morning."

We can therefore conclude that Monty will be left out!
Jakub Dobes Deserves Martin St-Louis' Confidence
During Thursday's game in Edmonton, Samuel Montembeault had a simply awful night, allowing six goals in a game that many (including myself) described as unfair to the Canadiens.
This time, Martin St-Louis hopes that Doby can stabilize the situation and deliver a stronger performance in net - something the Habs desperately need!
The young goaltender will therefore have the responsibility of helping his team finish their Western Canada road trip on a positive note.
As for the Canucks, they're expected to come out hungry, especially after two straight losses.
Captain Quinn Hughes and Elias Pettersson are two players to watch, in my opinion.
However, it's Conor Garland who currently leads the team with 7 points in 8 games.
The small right winger continues to be a consistent offensive force, even as his team experiences ups and downs this season.
The game will start at 7 p.m. (Eastern Time).
It's going to be a good one!
