Sam Montembeault earns 19th win of the season

Sam Montembeault stopped 25 of 27 shots in Saturday’s 5-2 win over Ottawa. The victory snapped a rough stretch for the 28-year-old netminder, who had dropped five of his last six starts prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Fantasy Impact:

Montembeault has taken on a heavy workload this season, appearing in a career-high 43 games while posting a 19-21-3 record with a 2.97 GAA and an .897 save percentage. With no back-to-back sets over the next week, he could continue seeing regular starts unless head coach Martin St. Louis opts to work in Jakub Dobes following the two-week break. His fantasy value remains tied to volume rather than elite efficiency.
