Al Montoya

Canadiens giving the nod to Al Montoya against New Jersey

Montreal Canadiens goalie Al Montoya will start Friday's contest versus the New Jersey Devils.

What It Means:

Montoya has won his past three starts, bringing him to 6-4-2 on the year with a .907 save percentage and 2.86 goals-against average. He gets a forgiving draw tonight against a Devils team that ranks just 28th in the NHL in scoring (2.22 goals for per game).

Our models have Montoya as the eighth-ranked fantasy goalie on Friday's six-game slate. We project him for 24.6 saves, 2.3 goals against and a 57.0 percent chance of scoring a win against the Devils.
