Impressive vs. Golden Knights Montembeault stopped 30 of 31 shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Montembeault didn't play in the Canadiens' last two games due to a series of subpar performances, but he was able to bounce back admirably in this one. This was the highest save percentage he's posted in a single game in 2025-26, and it'll be a confidence booster for the struggling 29-year-old netminder. Prior to this excellent performance in Vegas, Montembeault has posted a 2-2-1 record with a 3.63 GAA and an .860 save percentage in seven November appearances.

Starting in Vegas Montembeault will defend the road net against the Golden Knights on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Montembeault has allowed 12 goals on 64 shots in his last four appearances while going 0-2-0 over that span. He has a 4-5-1 record with a 3.72 GAA and an .852 save percentage across 12 appearances this season. Vegas is tied for 13th in the league with 3.09 goals per game this campaign.

Gets hook against Caps Montembeault allowed three goals on 10 shots before being replaced by Jakub Dobes early in the second period of Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Capitals.

Impact The first two pucks to get past Montembeault came on Washington power plays, but after he gave up a fairly soft goal to Ethen Frank that made the score 3-1 with less than four minutes elapsed in the second frame, coach Martin St. Louis got out his hook. Montembeault has just one win in his last six outings, going 1-2-1 with a rough 3.78 GAA and .865 save percentage, but Dobes -- who got stuck with the loss Thursday -- has been even worse in November, leaving the Montreal crease in turmoil.

Set to start Thursday Montembeault will start Thursday's home game against the Capitals.

Impact Montembeault hasn't been particularly sharp in recent weeks, as he's gone 2-3-1 with a 3.75 GAA and .858 save percentage over his last seven appearances. However, he'll have a relatively favorable matchup against the Capitals, who are scoring just 2.79 goals per game this year, which is the ninth-worst mark in the league.

Comes up short against Bruins Montembeault turned aside 20 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Boston.

Impact The 29-year-old netminder did shut the door in the third period to give the Habs a chance at tying the score, but his offense couldn't find an equalizer against Jeremy Swayman. Montembeault is 2-4-1 over his last eight outings with a shaky 3.80 GAA and .853 save percentage, but so far coach Martin St. Louis has stuck with him as Montreal's No. 1 in net rather than giving youngster Jakub Dobes a larger workload.

Saturday's starter Montembeault will be between the home pipes versus Boston on Saturday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Montembeault has had a pair of shaky appearances, allowing six goals on 31 shots. Overall, the 29-year-old netminder is 4-4-1 with a 3.61 GAA and an .857 save percentage across 10 appearances. The Bruins saw their seven-game winning streak snapped Thursday in a 5-3 loss to Ottawa.

Called upon in relief Thursday Montembeault stopped four of six shots Thursday after replacing Jakub Dobes to begin the third period of a 7-0 loss to the Stars.

Impact Neither netminder got much help from their defense, and both the goals that Montembeault allowed came from right on his doorstep as a Dallas player was allowed to bang home a loose puck. Montembeault has started four of Montreal's last six games, more due to Dobes' struggles than anything else, and over that stretch he's gone 2-1-1 with a 3.38 GAA and .872 save percentage.

NOVEMBER 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Toppled by Kings Montembeault turned aside 21 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to Los Angeles, with the Kings' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The Habs spotted Montembeault a 1-0 lead late in the first period, but it evaporated quickly in the second as the Kings struck three times in the first six minutes of the frame. The 29-year-old netminder has given up at least four goals in five of his last seven starts, stumbling to a 3.80 GAA and .853 save percentage over that stretch with a 3-3-1 record.

Kings score 3 quick goals in 2nd period and beat Canadiens 5-1

Joel Edmundson and Quinton Byfield each had a goal and an assist as the Los Angeles Kings scored three quick goals in the second period to beat the Montreal Canadiens 5-1

NOVEMBER 12, 2025 • Associated Press

In goal versus Kings Montembeault will get the starting nod at home against Los Angeles on Tuesday, Marc Antoine Godin of Radio Canada reports.

Impact Montembeault is undefeated in regulation over his last three outings, posting a 2-0-1 record, 2.89 GAA and .895 save percentage. Heading into the season, it seemed likely that Montembeault could push the 60-game mark; instead, youngster Jakub Dobes has been forcing himself into the crease share by going 6-0-1 with a 2.25 GAA in his seven outings. Still, Montembeault remains the No. 1 option for the Habs, even if he does see less of the crease than expected.

Gets back to winning ways Montembeault stopped 25 of 27 shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over Utah.

Impact Montembeault was coming off a 5-4 overtime loss to the Penguins in which he stopped 38 of 42 shots, but he got back to winning ways with a solid outing against Utah while posting a .926 save percentage -- his highest mark of the season in a single game. This was a step in the right direction, but Montembeault's overall numbers remain subpar. Through eight appearances, the 29-year-old has gone 4-3-1 with a 3.46 GAA and an .864 save percentage in 2025-26.

Impact Montembeault is coming off a 38-save effort in a 5-4 shootout loss to Philadelphia on Tuesday. He has a 3-3-1 record this season while allowing 26 goals on 179 shots. Utah ranks ninth in the league with 3.36 goals per game this campaign.

Manages point after queasy start Montembeault made 38 saves Tuesday in a 5-4 shootout loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Things looked grim early when he allowed three goals on the first six shots he faced. But Montembeault found his game and his confidence, and he helped the Habs earn a point. He needed a strong start with Jakub Dobes outperforming him by a wide margin. The two are splitting games. Dobes is 6-0-0 with a 1.97 GAA and .930 save percentage, while Montembeault is 3-3-1 with a 3.67 GAA and .855 save percentage.
