VIDEO: Samuel Montembeault continues to display impeccable conduct

Right now, the Canadiens have too many players.

Offensively speaking, Patrik Laine is still surplus to requirements. Joe Veleno often is… and once again yesterday, the Quebec native was benched when Josh Anderson returned to the lineup.

Kirby Dach, meanwhile, is currently injured.

Defensively, Arber Xhekaj is losing the battle for the sixth defenseman spot to Jayden Struble. The latter doesn't seem likely to be dropped from the lineup anytime soon.

And of course, there's the situation in net.

Samuel Montembeault is still the extra goalie, the one in the stands. And unless he's dressed on Saturday to let a goalie get a good night's sleep in Carolina ahead of the next day's game, he's destined to remain in the #3 role.

Is it easy for him? Certainly not. It must be awful, to be honest.

But never mind that; just like Patrik Laine, Montembeault doesn't let on and does everything he can to avoid being a distraction within the team. Both guys are pros.

Yesterday, in a video posted by the Canadiens, we saw exactly how great of a teammate Monty is.
