Montembeault made 40 saves in a 2-1 loss to Columbus at home on Saturday.
What a heartbreaker -- Patrik Laine beat him on a blistering one-timer on a power play with just eight seconds left in the game to seal the win. Montembeault played a strong game, especially in the first and then late in the second when his mates seemed to drift off. But the fact remains the Habs are 0-7-2 in their past nine games, and they have been outscored 47-20. Montembault delivered a strong performance, but he'll be hard pressed to pick up wins behind this struggling squad.
