Canadiens dress 1 goalie for preseason game due to injury

The Montreal Canadiens are playing with fire.

Not literally, but the team dressed one goalie - Al Montoya - for Monday's preseason game against the Toronto Maple Leafs after scheduled starter Charlie Lindgren fell prey to a lower-body injury prior to puck drop.

Carey Price didn't make the trip, leaving Jake Hildebrand as the emergency backup.

Hildebrand is a 24-year-old undrafted goalie who made three appearances for the AHL's Rockford IceHogs last season. His only other professional experience came at the ECHL level following four years at Michigan State University.

Godspeed, Montoya.
