  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Fends off Sharks

    Montembeault stopped 27 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

    Montembeault let a couple of one-goal leads slip away, but the third time was the charm, as he made Joel Armia's shorthanded tally late in the third period stand as the game-winner. This victory ended a three-game slide for Montembeault, who allowed 10 goals in that span. The 28-year-old netminder is now 18-19-3 with a 2.99 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 40 appearances this season. The Canadiens will likely roll with Jakub Dobes for Wednesday's game in Los Angeles, while Montembeault's next start could be Saturday versus the Devils or Sunday against the Lightning.

    Montembeault will tend the twine on the road against San Jose on Tuesday.

    Montembeault is currently mired in a three-game losing streak, during which he has posted a 3.42 GAA and .889 save percentage. With the Canadiens heading into the 4 Nations Face-Off with a pair of back-to-backs, Montembeault figures to split the games with Jakub Dobes.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Lets in three goals vs. Anaheim

    Montembeault allowed three goals on 22 shots during Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.

    Montembeault kept the Ducks off the board during the first period of Sunday's game but allowed second-period goals to Mason McTavish and Frank Vatrano within a 40-second span before Alex Killorn scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third frame. Montembeault has dropped his last three games and has a 3.42 GAA and .889 save percentage over that span. The Canadiens will continue their three-game California road trip Tuesday in San Jose.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Expected to face Anaheim

    Montembeault is set to start on the road Sunday against Anaheim, per Ducks PA Announcer Phil Hulett.

    Montembeault has a 17-18-3 record, 2.99 GAA and .899 save percentage in 38 appearances in 2024-25. He's allowed at least three goals in four of his past five starts, posting a 3.67 GAA and an .888 save percentage over that span. He fared well against Anaheim on Dec. 9, though, stopping 27 of 29 shots en route to a 3-2 shootout victory.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Beaten by Winnipeg

    Montembeault allowed three goals on 23 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Winnipeg.

    Montembeault was done in by the Jets' first line, which beat him three times. It was the second consecutive loss for Montembeault, who has gone eight starts without consecutive wins. He has a 3.40 GAA and an .889 save percentage during the stretch. Next up for Montreal is a home game against the Wild on Thursday.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Gets starting nod against Jets

    Montembeault will be between the pipes for Tuesday's home clash with Winnipeg.

    Montembeault continues to see plenty of work in the Habs' crease despite the fact that youngster Jakub Dobes has yet to suffer a regular loss in six NHL appearances. The 28-year-old Montembeault, meanwhile, has been rather pedestrian of late, going 2-2-1 with a 3.20 GAA in his prior five outings. If Montembeault struggles again Tuesday, don't be surprised to see Dobes getting a look versus Minnesota on Thursday or Anaheim on Sunday.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Busy in loss

    Montembeault allowed four goals on 45 shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

    The Red Wings came out flying, sending 17 shots on Montembeault in the first period and scoring twice. The barrage never let up, as Detroit returned home from a disappointing road trip and took it out on Montreal. Montembeault has alternated wins and losses over his last seven starts. The Canadiens return to action Saturday night at home against New Jersey.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Set to start against Detroit

    Montembeault will defend the road crease against the Red Wings on Thursday, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports.

    After ending December with wins in five of his final six starts of the month, Montembeault has been inconsistent to begin the calendar year, going 3-2-1 with a 3.34 GAA and .886 save percentage over six appearances. He's been in more of a timeshare than usual lately since Jakub Dobes has begun his NHL career with five consecutive victories, but Montembeault will tend the twine for the third time in the Canadiens' last four games Thursday.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Shuts down Bolts

    Montembeault stopped 33 of 35 shots on net in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Lightning.

    Montembeault has been very inconsistent over his last five outings, going 3-1-1 with a 3.17 GAA while giving up four or more goals twice during that stretch. With youngster Jakub Dobes currently riding a five-game winning streak, Montembeault will have to continue to stay on top of his game in order to avoid being dropped from the starting role.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Between pipes against Bolts

    Montembeault will tend the twine at home versus the Lightning on Tuesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

    Montembeault has been underwhelming of late, going 2-2-1 with a 3.61 GAA and an .871 save percentage in his last five outings. Still, the 28-year-old backstop was solid the last time he faced Tampa Bay on Dec. 29, conceding just two goals on 23 shots in a winning effort. Of note, however, it was Jonas Johansson in the other goal that evening, but it will be Andrei Vasilevskiy opposite Montembeault in Tuesday's tilt.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Squanders three-goal lead

    Montembeault allowed six goals on 33 shots in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

    Losing to a rival was an indignity, but the way in which Montreal and Montembeault lost it was next level. The goalie was handed a 3-0 lead after one period before letting it slip away in the final two frames. His goals-against average increased to 2.98 and save percentage dropped to .897. Montembeault's been streaky and inconsistent this season, and it will be interesting to see if rookie netminder Jakub Dobes, who's been killing it in net, grabs a bigger share of the starts going forward. Dobes is expected to start Sunday's home game against the Rangers.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Facing Maple Leafs

    Montembeault will patrol the home crease versus Toronto on Saturday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

    Montembeault is 4-1-1 with a 2.65 GAA and an .899 save percentage over his last six starts. He is 16-15-3 overall this season. Montembeault was outstanding in a home start versus Toronto on Opening Night, turning aside all 48 shots in a 1-0 win. The Maple Leafs are tied for 12th in NHL scoring, averaging 3.04 goals per game.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Allows three goals in win

    Montembeault stopped 22 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Utah.

    Montembeault has won four of his last six starts, though this wasn't the prettiest of efforts. He's allowed a total of 16 goals in that span while going 4-1-1. Overall, he improved to 16-15-3 with a 2.88 GAA and a .900 save percentage through 34 contests. Jakub Dobes has impressed in limited action, but Montembeault is still the Canadiens' top goalie. Montembeault is likely to get the nod Thursday in Dallas after making 35 saves in a 2-1 loss to the Stars in Montreal on Saturday.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Facing Utah

    Montembeault is set to start in Tuesday's road game versus Utah, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

    Montembeault was on the losing end of a goaltender's duel against Jake Oettinger in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to Dallas. The 28-year-old Montembeault has a 1-1-1 record while allowing nine goals on 81 shots through three starts in January. The Quebec native was defeated by Utah 3-2 in overtime Nov. 26. Utah ranks 25th in the NHL with 2.79 goals per game.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Hard-luck loss Saturday

    Montembeault allowed one goal on 35 shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to Dallas.

    Montembeault, who struggled over his last five starts with a 3.46 goals-against average and an .869 save percentage, was on point Saturday. He's been inconsistent this season but also streaky, and this strong performance could trigger a hot stretch. The Canadiens next play Tuesday in Utah.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Tending twine Saturday

    Montembeault will start at home versus the Stars on Saturday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

    Montembeault will take the second half of a back-to-back after Jakub Dobes picked up an overtime win over the Capitals on Friday. The Stars have been rolling lately, winning six straight games with 25 goals scored in that span. Given the circumstances, Montembeault is not a particularly strong fantasy option despite having won three of his last four outings.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Escapes with OT win Monday

    Montembeault made 16 saves in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.

    Montreal fell behind 3-1 early in the second period, but Montembeault was able to keep his focus despite a lack of activity and give his squad a chance to mount a comeback. The 28-year-old netminder has allowed four or more goals in three of his last five starts, and over his last 10 outings, he sports a shaky 3.19 GAA and .877 save percentage despite a 6-4-0 record.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Tending twine against Vancouver

    Montembeault will defend the home crease against the Canucks on Monday.

    Montembeault has been productive in recent outings, going 5-2-0 with a 2.61 GAA and .900 save percentage over his last seven starts. He rested in the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday against the Avalanche but will return to the net against a middling opponent, as the Canucks are tied for 14th in the NHL with 3.03 goals per game this year.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Gives up four goals Friday

    Montembeault stopped 22 of 26 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Blackhawks.

    Montembeault has dropped two of his last four starts while allowing 13 goals on 110 shots. He has started in 13 of the Canadiens' past 14 games, going 8-5-0 with a 2.66 GAA and a .904 save percentage in that span.
