Coming into the 2015-16 NHL season, Montreal’s goaltending depth featured the reigning league MVP, an undrafted college free agent and a former top prospect who overtook a veteran backup’s job the year prior. Fast forward 5 months and Montreal’s MVP has played just 12 games while the undrafted college free agent has seen the bulk of the action.
Despite all that has happened in 2015-16, Montreal’s crease is likely the most stable position in the organization. The only real question will be who wins the back up spot.
