2019-20 Upper Deck Sam Montembeault YG #478

Young Guns RC from his Panthers debut. Montembeault is a Becancour, Quebec native — a hometown hero playing for the Montreal Canadiens, the most storied franchise in hockey. His QMJHL development through the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada prepared him for the pressure of the Bell Centre. Quebecois goalies playing for the Habs carry an emotional premium that transcends statistics. This YG was issued during his Florida stint but gains retroactive value as a Canadiens fan favorite.
