Montembeault is slated to patrol the home blue paint in Monday's preseason game versus Ottawa.
Montembeault started Saturday's preseason game against Toronto and was perfect, turning aside all 13 shots he faced. Montembeault was relegated to being Montreal's No. 3 netminder once Jacob Fowler was called up toward the end of last season, so the former likely has an uphill battle for playing time in 2026-27 at this point.
