Sam Montembeault gets the nod in goal for the Montreal Canadiens when they take on the Nashville Predators on Thursday night at the Bell Centre. Puck drop just after 7 p.m. (TSN2, RDS, TSN Radio 690, 98.5 FM).

Montembeault will make his second consecutive start, and first since being named to Team Canada at the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.

Patrik Laine will also be playing at the tourney for his native Finland, and tonight, he’ll look to build on his successful first game as a Hab.
