Montembeault stopped 16 of 18 shots (.889 SV%) in a relief appearance in his last game, picking up the no-decision as he attempted to stop the bleeding against the Colorado Avalanche. The 26-year-old Canadiens backup has been the better of the two goalies in Montreal, with his 12-13-3 record, .905 SV% and 3.28 GAA. He will face the Pittsburgh Penguins, who have won seven of their last nine games and are fifth in the NHL in shots per game (33.9).
