Montembeault (not injury related) will join the Canadiens ahead of their Dec. 28 game against the Lightning, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports Sunday.

Montembeault was loaned to AHL Laval for a conditioning stint. He has played only twice in the month of December so far, so the conditioning move will allow him to sharpen his skill set at the AHL level. He'll have a couple more practices with Laval before joining the Canadiens on the trip in Tampa next Sunday. In the meantime, Jacob Fowler and Jakub Dobes will continue to handle goaltending duties.
