Montembeault is slated to start Thursday's road game against Minnesota. Montembeault entered Monday's game against Buffalo in the third period and snapped a losing skid by saving all four shots he saw en route to the win. Prior to that, he had posted an 0-4-1 record, 4.20 GAA and .851 save percentage over his last five outings. He'll have his hands full against the Wild, who rank seventh in the league with an average of 3.53 goals per game.

Montembeault stopped all four of the shots he faced in a 7-5 win over the Sabres on Monday. Montembeault entered Monday's game in the third period after Cayden Primeau allowed five goals on 14 shots. The 28-year-old Montembeault halted his five-game (0-4-1) losing skid in only 16:09 of playing time. Montreal visits the Wild on Thursday, and it wouldn't be surprising if Montembeault got the start.

Montembeault made 23 saves in a 4-1 loss to Toronto on Saturday. Montreal has surrendered a league-high 4.07 goals per game this season, and Montembeault has struggled in high-danger situations. According to MoneyPuck, he is 28th in goals saved above expected, the metric that assesses a goalie's individual impact on the game. Fantasy managers need to leave him stapled on the bench during his cold spell, as he's allowed 18 goals in his last five starts (0-4-1).

Montreal carries a league-worst 4.07 goals allowed per game and is next to last with a minus-19 goal differential heading into Saturday's contest in Toronto, the second stop on a four-game road trip.
