Episode 963 - Montreal beats Columbus 4-2, has Samuel Montembeault played his last game for the Habs?

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens

After a tough end to last weekend the Montreal Canadiens bounced back with a big 4-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday night. Samuel Montembeault was as steady as always as the Habs overcame a slow start and scored three unanswered goals including a late game-winner from Joel Armia. Scott and Laura discuss the frustrating start, and what the team did right to snag a big two points after a lopsided loss to the Kings.

While the game itself was important, all eyes were on three members of the Edmonton Oilers front office who were in attendance to watch Wednesday's game. It's extremely likely they have their eyes focused solely on Samuel Montembeault, but both Scott and Laura think it would be unwise for the Canadiens to move their current starting goaltender. The duo looks over the other options available, and why the Oilers can't afford to be picky given their current situation.

Finally, with two games left this week against divisional rivals, can the Montreal Canadiens find a way to squeak out a winning record, or will this week end the same as the last? Scott and Laura look at the upcoming games against Florida and Detroit, and what they expect from the Habs in both contests.
