The Montreal Canadiens are set for a crucial matchup at the Bell Centre this Saturday night as they aim to snap a two-game losing streak against the visiting Utah Mammoth. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET and the game will be broadcast on CityTV, SNE, TVA Sports, and on the radio via TSN Radio 690 and 98.5 FM.
Montembeault Gets the Start in Goal
Head coach Sam Montembeault will be tasked with guarding the net for the Habs, looking to bring stability after backup Jakub Dobes suffered his first loss of the season this past Thursday against the New Jersey Devils. This game presents a key opportunity for Montembeault to reassert himself and help the team get back into the win column.
Team Updates and Injury Report
The Canadiens are dealing with several notable developments. Captain Nick Suzuki saw his impressive 12-game point streak come to an end during the loss to the Devils. On the injury front, there is a glimmer of hope as defenceman Kaiden Guhle skated for the first time on Wednesday, but the team confirms he is not yet ready to return to the lineup.
In more somber news, the club announced that coaching consultant Roger Grillo is currently battling cancer. The team and its fans are undoubtedly sending their full support to Grillo during this difficult time.
