Sam Montembeault News: Appears in relief

Updated on December 10, 2025 at 7:06am

Montembeault allowed three goals on 12 shots in relief Tuesday in a 6-1 loss to the Lightning.

Neither Montembeault nor starter Jakub Dobes has been good through November and into December, and the Habs have slipped out of a wild-card spot. Montembeault is 5-6-1 with a 3.65 GAA and an .857 save percentage in 13 starts (15 appearances). Bench him until he rights the proverbial ship.
