  The Montreal Canadiens and head coach Martin St. Louis have some decisions to make in the crease. Samuel Montembeault was expected to be the starting netminder this season, which he has done thus far.

The article from MSN discusses the current goaltending situation for the Montreal Canadiens. It highlights the team's reliance on goaltenders Cayden Primeau and Samuel Montembeault, especially in light of Jake Allen's recent trade to the New Jersey Devils. Primeau has shown promise, particularly with a notable performance where he made 41 saves in a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. However, his inconsistency has been a concern, with a record of 5-7-2, a 3.00 goals-against average, and an .899 save percentage. Montembeault, on the other hand, has been more consistent, posting a 13-11-4 record with a 2.94 GAA and a .904 save percentage. The article also touches on the Canadiens' strategy moving forward, suggesting that while Primeau has potential, the team might need to consider their options carefully, especially with Montembeault's upcoming free agency. The discussion includes the possibility of acquiring a new goaltender or relying on the development of their current prospects.
