Sergei Bobrovsky was hurt in Saturday's practice and Montembeault's promotion suggests that he won't be available against Toronto. Montembeault is expected to serve as Chris Driedger's backup.
Montembeault has struggled as the Panthers' backup this season, posting a 3.31 GAA and .889 SV% in five appearances. Florida sent him to the AHL to try and find his game and recalled Chris Driedger, who has an impressive .938 SV% in the AHL this year.
Monteambeault allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Panthers win in Nashville on October 19th. Sergei Bobrovsky started the last three games, including last night, so look for Montembeault to make his third start of the year on Monday. The 22-year-old is 1-0-1 with a 1.79 GAA and .933 SV% in his first two starts and one relief appearance of 2019-20. Tonight he faces a Vancouver team that has won six of their last eight while averaging 3.88 goals per game.

Montembeault allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Panthers loss to the Islanders last Saturday. It was a solid first start for Montembeault, who has stopped 45 of the 48 shots (.938 SV%) that he has faced so far this season. Montembeault should be left on the bench on Saturday though. The Predators are one of the best home teams in hockey and enter play leading the NHL in goal-scoring (4.29 GF/pg).

Montembeault allowed one goal on 20 shots after replacing Sergei Bobrovsky in the Panthers loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday. With Bobrovsky starting Friday in Buffalo, Montembeault will make his first start of the season on the tail-end of the back-to-back. It’s a solid matchup against an offensively challenged Islanders team, making him a reasonable spot-start option if you’re desperate.

Montembeault allowed three goals on 18 shots after replacing Roberto Luongo in the Panthers 6-1 loss in Montreal on March 26th.
