I think Dobes has been playing well lately - we're seeing a lot of calm in front of the net from him.
But Montembeault is used to home games, especially on emotionally charged nights.
Utah is fast and dangerous in transition. I believe they're not an easy opponent.
I don't think starting Montembeault sends a message against Dobes.
It's about maintaining a good balance... especially after Dobes' emotions ran high in the game against the Devils.
It's the perfect opportunity for St-Louis to give him a breather and let him recalibrate.
However, this will be a big test for Monty!
The game starts at 7:00 p.m. on TVA Sports.
With the STM strike, many will have to plan their route accordingly.
Tonight, they have to be ready from the very first shot!
