Hidden Game: Canadiens’ Nick Suzuki leads comeback victory at Florida
Meanwhile, back at the ranch: The other story on this night was Canadiens goaltender Samuel Montembeault. The beleaguered veteran was starting his first game since Dec. 2 and hasn’t played for Montreal since Dec. 9. He was recently recalled following a two-game — both losses — conditioning stint at AHL Laval. In what might have been the most important game of his career, Montembeault stopped 28 shots for a .933 save percentage. He shut out Florida for more than 50 minutes, while winning for the first time since Nov. 28, against Vegas. So now, who gets the start Thursday night, at Carolina? Stay tuned.
