What It Means:

Montoya has played sparingly this season as Friday will mark only his ninth start of the year. He owns a 3-3-2 record with a 3.20 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage in those starts. Montoya has a tough draw tonight as he faces the Blue Jackets who have won 11 straight games.

Our models have Montoya as the second-worst goalie option in Friday's 12-game slate. He is projected to stop 24.0-of-26.8 shots faced with only a 39.0 percent chance of winning.
