Martin St-Louis takes strategic approach to starting goalie ahead of Red Wings game

Martin St-Louis is keeping his cards close regarding his starting goalie vs. Detroit. The Canadiens coach declined to comment to media on the decision.

Priyanta Emrith confirmed the update on social media this afternoon. The Montreal Canadiens head coach chose to wait until Thursday morning’s practice before making a final decision.

We can wonder who will be in net, but all signs point toward Jacob Fowler.

Facing Detroit has consistently been a major challenge for Montreal this season.

With the playoffs approaching quickly, Martin St-Louis must prepare his goaltenders for the this important stretch.

Managing a three-goalie rotation requires a calm and calculated approach. St-Louis knows he must maximize the team’s chances of winning while keeping his players motivated.

Samuel Montembeault would certainly like to get this important start in goal for the Canadiens. The Quebec native has been working hard since the recent call-up of young Jacob Fowler.

If Fowler gets the start against the Red Wings, it would be a clear sign of the organization’s trust. It would also confirm his current place in the hierarchy.

The young goaltender had a solid outing in his last game despite the loss.

He has been very reliable in his recent appearances in front of fans. He deserves to see action to build on his current momentum.

The outcome of this situation will be revealed tomorrow when the team returns to the ice.
