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.
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.
