It appears the Montreal Canadiens will be without starting goalie Sam Montembeault for Game 4 against the Washington Capitals.
After leaving Game 3 with a lower-body injury, head coach Martin St. Louis told reporters Sunday morning that Montembeault, who was not on the ice at morning skate, is listed as day-to-day.
With Montembeault’s injury, the Habs recalled netminder Cayden Primeau from the Laval Rocket of the American Hockey League.
Jakob Dobes, who made seven stops in relief of Montembeault in Game 3, is expected to start Sunday.
Along with Montembeault, defenceman David Savard and forward Patrik Laine were also absent from the morning skate. Laine did not play in Game 3 due to an upper-body injury.
Savard had a treatment day, according to Karine Hains of The Hockey News. “I’m pretty sure he’s going to play,” St. Louis said after the skate.
