Goalie Sam Montembeault will make his third consecutive start for the Montreal Canadiens when they take on the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night at the Bell Centre. Puck drop at 7 p.m. (TSN2, RDS, TSN Radio 690, 98.5 FM).
The netminder last suited up on Thanksgiving Monday in a losing effort against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
No other lineup changes are expected, meaning defenceman Jayden Struble remains out with an upper-body injury. Michael Pezzetta will also sit once again. Neither has played a game so far this season.
