A delightful video has emerged, capturing Samuel Montembeault’s return to the locker room after being named the game’s first star. It also shows Cole Caufield’s reaction and features a memorable moment where Patrik Laine bestows the game glasses.
A Heartwarming Moment in the Montreal Canadiens’ Locker Room
This appears to be a new tradition for the Canadiens this season, creating an incredibly special atmosphere:
“The guys on the special units and penalty kill, you did an outstanding job, Monty.
But I have to give this to the scorer of the game-winning goal… Number 1, Jake Evans!”
Patrik Laine
It’s noteworthy how Jake Evans continues to prove his worth to the team, with newcomer Patrik Laine quickly acknowledging the significance of #71 within the group.
It will be interesting to see what decisions Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton will make regarding this situation.
At 28 years old, Evans will become an unrestricted free agent (UFA) this summer unless he secures a contract extension. So far this season, he has tallied 14 points, including 5 goals, across 26 games, indicating he is on track for his best NHL season yet.
One thing is clear: the locker room atmosphere is at an all-time high, and it’s translating into their performance on the ice. This comes at a crucial moment as the team aims to re-enter the NHL playoff race in the upcoming weeks.
