Sam Montembeault News: Picks up win

Updated on January 5, 2026 at 10:01am

Montembeault stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Stars.

Montembeault made his second start since ending his loan at AHL Laval on Dec. 16, and he's earned back-to-back OT wins against Florida and Dallas. In those two games, the 29-year-old has allowed five goals on 57 shots faced. He should continue as the Canadiens' No. 1 goaltender ahead of Jakub Dobes and Jacob Fowler going forward.
