Sam Montembeault takes loss in season opener
by Bruno Mulé | Canadiens Correspondent | Thu, Oct 9th 2:10pm EDT
Sam Montembeault allowed three goals on 25 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. The 28-year-old netminder kept his team in the game during the season opener, but he was beaten for the game-winning goal midway through the third period. Toronto's final two tallies were scored into an empty net.
Fantasy Impact:
Montembeault is coming off a career year in which he posted 31 wins and a 2.82 GAA over 62 appearances. Despite the loss, he enters the campaign as the clear No. 1 goaltender for a Canadiens team that is expected to be improved. He should be treated as a solid starting option in most fantasy formats and can be relied upon for a heavy workload.
