Montoya, 31, has gone 4-4-2 with a 2.74 GAA and .909 SV% in his first season with the Canadiens.

For the rest of this season, Montoya will be one of the better spot-start options behind a strong Canadiens team.

Montoya allowed two goals on 24 shots in the Canadiens’ loss in Columbus last Friday. It was a better performance than his first start in Columbus, but still got stuck with the loss.

Montoya stopped all five shots that he faced after replacing Carey Price in the Canadiens’ loss to the Sharks last Friday. Montoya is 2-3-2 with a 3.53 GAA and .887 SV% in seven starts on the road this season. Those numbers are a tad inflated by a 10-0 loss in Columbus back on November 4th. Tonight he gets a chance to redeem himself in Columbus, against a Blue Jackets team that has won 11 in a row.

He has filled in for Price very well, stopping 65 of 69 shots (.942 SV%) that he has faced in his first two stars in a Montreal uniform.

Montoya stopped 30 of 31 shots in the Canadiens’ season opening win in Buffalo. No Carey Price, no problem. Montoya’s Habs debut was a successful one and he will look to carry that success into tonight’s game in Ottawa. Montoya lost his only start against the Senators last year (with Florida), but they are a solid matchup. However, you always have to be a little wary of a matchup against Erik Karlsson.

Montoya will make his Canadiens’ debut on Thursday in Buffalo. No one expected his debut to come in the season opener, but with Carey Price staying back in Montreal with an illness, Montoya gets the nod vs. the Sabres. The veteran netminder had 12 wins with a 2.18 GAA and .919 SV% as Roberto Luongo’s backup last season and makes for a cheap daily start on Thursday. The Sabres will be without Jack Eichel (ankle) and Kyle Okposo (knee).
