Sam Montembeault faces heavy workload in loss

by Bruno Mulé | Canadiens Correspondent | Fri, Jan 24th 1:09pm EST

Sam Montembeault stopped 41 of 45 shots in the Canadiens' 4-2 loss to the Red Wings on Thursday, enduring a relentless attack from Detroit's offense.

Fantasy Impact:

Montembeault has been inconsistent of late, alternating wins and losses across his last seven starts. Despite the defeat, the 27-year-old netminder showcased resilience under pressure, facing 17 shots in the first period alone. With a challenging matchup against New Jersey on Saturday, Montembeault remains a risky fantasy option, best suited for managers in need of volume saves rather than consistent wins.
