Many Montreal Canadiens fans thought last night was the game they were waiting for. Al Montoya‘s play and more specifically his start count, with the Edmonton Oilers have been put underneath a microscope ever since the conditions on the trade were revealed a little after the trade. If the 33-year-old starts seven games for the Oilers, the fifth-round pick in this year’s draft is bumped up to the fourth-round.
Edmonton had an entertaining game last night taking on the San Jose Sharks, which, evidently enough, was Montoya’s seventh start with the team. However, the Habs won’t be getting the pick upgrade just yet.
