Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Hard-luck loss Saturday
Montembeault allowed one goal on 35 shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to Dallas.
Montembeault, who struggled over his last five starts with a 3.46 goals-against average and an .869 save percentage, was on point Saturday. He's been inconsistent this season but also streaky, and this strong performance could trigger a hot stretch. The Canadiens next play Tuesday in Utah.

Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Tending twine Saturday
Montembeault will start at home versus the Stars on Saturday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.
Montembeault will take the second half of a back-to-back after Jakub Dobes picked up an overtime win over the Capitals on Friday. The Stars have been rolling lately, winning six straight games with 25 goals scored in that span.

Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Win streak stopped
Montembeault allowed five goals on 32 shots in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
The Canadiens overcame a pair of two-goal deficits and went up 4-3 early in the third period, but Columbus tallied two more times to stop Montembeault's win streak at three games. Despite inconsistency, Montembeault is locked in as the No. 1 goalie for Montreal, which does not have an attractive alternative. This was his 10th consecutive start, and he's third in the league with 27 starts behind only Connor Hellebuyck and Juuse Saros, who each have 28 starts. Montembeault will get four days off for the NHL's Christmas break before Montreal returns to action Saturday at Florida, the second of a six-game road trip.
