Sam Montembeault News: Concedes three goals Friday

Montembeault saved 21 of 24 shots on net in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Montembeault allowed a goal just 41 seconds into the game before he surrendered two tallies in a span of 2:24 in the second period. The 28-year-old Montembeault now has a 25-23-6 record with a 2.93 GAA and an .898 save percentage in 54 appearances this season. Despite a strong stretch following the 4 Nations Face-Off, Montembeault has struggled of late and is on a four-game losing streak. However, the Habs will likely continue to deploy Montembeault in net as they fight for the last wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. While he will have the volume needed to be successful in fantasy, he is difficult to trust for the time being until he can find the win column again.
