Montembeault stopped 20 of 21 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 win over Buffalo.
The Sabres, losers of 11 consecutive games, were an ideal opponent for Montembeault, who entered after losing his previous two appearances while giving up nine goals on 52 shots (.827 save percentage). His teammates made it an easy night, jumping out to a 2-0 lead and allowing just three shots on net in the first period. The lead ballooned to 6-1 after two, and Montembeault cruised to his 10th win of the season. His save percentage ticked back up to .902 heading into Friday's road game against Detroit.
