Logic will be respected and Samuel Montembault will be in front of the net for the Canadian in the game against the Blue Jackets on Wednesday in Columbus.
Coach Martin St. Louis confirmed this after the team’s training on Monday.
This will be Kuepker’s 10th start of the season. He was the starting goaltender during CH’s last win, on November 22, over the Anaheim Ducks.
Jake Allen was the starter In a 4-0 loss to the Kings in Los Angeles, Cayden Primeau added a win to his record last Friday, as the Habs beat the Sharks 3-2 in San Jose.
Montembo, who will become a free agent at the end of this season, has not yet signed a new contract.
When asked if he was trying to introduce a rotation with a predetermined starting three goaltenders, St. Louis remained cautious.
A little, the coach admitted. But their performance is also part of the equation, as all three have to play.
After the first quarter of the season, the Canadian had a record of 9 wins, 10 losses and 2 losses in overtime. Martin St. Louis says he’s happy with the progress he’s made. We’re almost playing for .500 after about twenty games. With the injuries and everything, I’m happy with the progress.
