Montembeault stopped 25 of 26 shots (.962 SV%) for his second straight victory as he beat the Central leading Winnipeg Jets in his previous start. The 26-year-old will be tasked with a starters' workload now that Jake Allen is on the shelf for a few weeks (injury) and will be hoping to build off his 9-7-2 record, 3.05 GAA and .912 SV%. He will face the Florida Panthers, who are coming off a 5-4 overtime loss to Toronto but are second in the NHL in shots per game (35.4).
