Montembeault (wrist) will serve as the Canadiens' backup on Thursday.
Montembeault has missed the last two games with a wrist injury but will serve as Cayden Primeau's backup on Thursday and is expected to start either Saturday or Sunday.

Montembeault has missed the last two games with a wrist injury but will serve as Cayden Primeau's backup on Thursday and is expected to start either Saturday or Sunday.
Montembeault stopped nine of 10 shots after replacing Sergei Bobrovsky in the Panthers loss to the Golden Knights last Thursday. With Bobrovsky starting last night, Montembeault will go tonight in New Jersey. He has gone 4-2-1 with a 3.40 GAA and .889 SV% in nine games (five starts) this season, so look elsewhere for a goalie option on tonight's 11-game slate.
Sergei Bobrovsky was hurt in Saturday's practice and Montembeault's promotion suggests that he won't be available against Toronto. Montembeault is expected to serve as Chris Driedger's backup.
