Montembeault gives kudos to Zegras for Michigan goal (w/video)

On Thursday, Anaheim Ducks forward Trevor Zegras wowed NHL fans yet again, this time pulling off the Michigan move in what turned out to be a 5-4 win over the Montreal Canadiens.

In the net for the Habs at the time of the goal was Sam Montembeault. While he was undoubtedly frustrated to give up the marker, he was very impressed when speaking about Zegras postgame.

«I hadn't played in a week and only had one practice, so I would have liked to have had a different type of shot as a first shot,» said Montembeault, who was coming in on relief for Cayden Primeau. «But it was a really nice goal, have to tip your cap to him.»

That goal turned out to be the first of two for Zegras on the night, as the 20-year-old phenom put up another later in the second that turned out to be the game winner. He now has 12 goals and 32 points in 40 games and is considered one of the favorites to take home the Calder Trophy.
