Canadiens face goalie decisions for playoffs

As the Montreal Canadiens push for a playoff spot, critical discussions arise regarding their starting goalie for the postseason. Jacob Fowler, who recently had a standout performance against the Ottawa Senators, stopping 32 of 34 shots, is being considered for the role.

However, experts, including TSN's Craig Button, argue that Jakub Dobes should be the choice instead, citing his more substantial experience and recent performances, including a save percentage of .923 in multiple recent games.

Meanwhile, Samuel Montembeault's future with the team appears uncertain due to his struggles this season, where he posted a 3.43 goals-against average and an .872 save percentage, raising questions about his reliability as the Canadiens head into the final stretch of the season.

The Canadiens' decision to lean towards younger goaltenders like Fowler and Dobes suggests a shift in their strategy as they aim for playoff success.
