Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Set to start Thursday

Montembeault will start Thursday's home game against the Capitals.

Montembeault hasn't been particularly sharp in recent weeks, as he's gone 2-3-1 with a 3.75 GAA and an .858 save percentage over his last seven appearances. However, he'll have a relatively favorable matchup against a Capitals team that is scoring just 2.79 goals per game this year, which is the ninth-worst mark in the league.
