The Montreal Canadiens are facing a decision regarding their goaltender lineup ahead of the upcoming NHL season. With three capable goaltenders—Samuel Montembeault, Jakub Dobes, and Jacob Fowler—on the roster, General Manager Kent Hughes has expressed that it is unlikely the team will carry all three into the season. Speaking at the Canadiens' golf tournament, Hughes stated, 'To start training camp, more than three goalies, yes, but to start the season probably not.' This indicates the team's intention to potentially trade one of the goaltenders or demote them to the minors. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected as the season launch approaches. The performance of these goaltenders in training camp and pre-season games may also influence the final decision on the roster configuration.
