Montembeault will tend the twine at home against Toronto on Wednesday.
Montembeault is expected to carry the load for the Habs this season and could surpass his career-high 41 games played from last year. The Quebec native went 16-15-9 with a 3.14 GAA and zero shutouts in those contests, so he'll probably need to step up his game to avoid losing starts. With Montreal kicking off the 2024-25 campaign with a back-to-back, Cayden Primeau should get the nod on the road against Boston on Thursday.
