Between pipes versus Jets Montembeault will tend the twine on the road against Winnipeg on Wednesday.

Yields four goals in loss Montembeault stopped 17 of 21 shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Montembeault kept Montreal's net tidy in the first period before allowing two goals in each of the final two periods of Saturday's contest. Three of the four goals he surrendered came on power plays for the Bruins, who took advantage of Montreal's 26th-ranked penalty kill percentage at 76.5. Overall, the 29-year-old Montembeault now has a 9-8-2 record with a 3.46 GAA and an .869 save percentage across 22 appearances this season. Since winning each of his first three starts since his recall from the minors, he has lost three of his last four outings with a 3.75 GAA and an .867 save percentage. With the Canadiens trending down in the Atlantic Division standings, Montembeault is a risky fantasy option and will have to turn things around soon if he wants to fend off Jakub Dobes and Jacob Fowler for the lead option in net.

Allows three goals in loss Montembault made 13 saves in a 4-2 loss to Buffalo on Thursday. He allowed three goals.

Impact Buffalo scored the first three goals to build a 3-0 lead by the 2:25 mark of the second period. Montembault has started five of Montreal's last 10 games; he's 3-1-1 in that span. He has struggled this season to show that his 31-24-7 record, 2.82 GAA and .902 save percentage last year real. The talent is there -- he's delivered three straight seasons with a save percentage of .901 or above. But Montembeault has delivered a .871 save percentage in 19 starts (21 appearances) in 2025-26.

Between pipes Thursday Montembeault will defend the home crease versus Buffalo on Thursday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact Montembeault is 4-0-1 in his last five starts, allowing 15 goals on 160 shots (.906 save percentage). Montembeault is 9-6-2 with the Canadiens this season and while his record is good, his peripherals of a 3.44 GAA and an .873 save percentage, are not. The Sabres are averaging 3.27 goals per game, tied for 10th with Ottawa this season.

Hangs on for OT win Montembeault stopped 29 of 34 shots on goal in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Senators.

Impact Despite allowing four goals in the second period, Montembeault was able to play well enough in the back half of the third to keep the Canadiens in contention before ultimately taking the OT win. Following Saturday's victory, he now holds a 9-6-2 record with a 3.44 GAA and an .873 save percentage through 20 appearances this season. While his numbers are inflated by inconsistent play in the early stages of the season, the 29-year-old goalie has a 4-0-1 record with a 2.90 GAA and a .906 save percentage in that span. His overall quality of play is trending back towards the 31-win-quality he had across 62 appearances a year ago, giving him decent streaming value across most fantasy formats for the time being. His next chance to take the ice is Tuesday against the Wild.
