Samuel Montembeault in Washington on Wednesday?

Right now, these are the CH’s two most important issues, and they have no room for manoeuvre.

On this subject, Renaud Lavoie was questioned on the BPM Sports morning show . He was asked if there was a world in which Monty could play Wednesday’s game.

His answer? No.

He doesn’t believe the CH will be able to test him until he jumps on the ice to test his right leg – or groin, depending on where he’s injured. So he doesn’t see him playing in Game 5.

In reality, it really feels like it’s going to take longer than that to get Montembeault back. If Jakub Dobes doesn’t get the CH out of the first round, the chances of seeing Monty again are slim.

At the very least, they seem slim.

Of course, if Dobes gets the CH through to the second round, he could still get the net despite the Quebecer’s return. But that’s something that won’t happen right away.

My prediction? The Canadiens are a few days away from being eliminated, and we’ll only see Monty again at the next camp.
