Are they counting his relief of Primeau vs buffalo? Dude saved 4 shots and got the win.
Should be the starter for 4 Nations
I love Monty.
He has a lot of poise and it influences every aspect of his game. His movement has become a lot more fluid, his awareness has increased, and his reading of the play has improved. I know he is only 15 games into this season, but his stats season over season have improved at a steady rate. Here is a mini-analysis of some of his stats:
—-
HDS% (High-Danger save percentage on unblocked shots, all situations)
TLDR: He has steadily become better and more confident. He is stopping better quality chances more frequently. He is still improving. I don’t think he has hit his full potential.
Crazy what an adequate defence does when you have a good goalie! Look at what Monty did at the worlds with a good d-core in front of him, tournament MVP
Montembeault:
> The reports of my demise were greatly exaggerated
This is the type of goaltending the team will need to compete night in and night out. Hopefully he can rebound from the last little run and help the team play 500 hockey
Yay for Sammy!!!
And the best thing of all there were no 49 shot save games where he had to carry the team. He just played extremely well and seemed very dialed in, every game.

HDS% (High-Danger save percentage on unblocked shots, all situations)
SV% (Save percentage, all situations)
GSAE (Goals saved above expected)
—-
2021-2022 (38GP): SV% = 891 | HDS = 0.733% | GSAE = -17.3
2022-2023 (40GP): SV% = 901 | HDS = 0.756% | GSAE = 11.8
2023-2024 (41GP): SV% = 903 | HDS = 0.788% | GSAE = 3.3
2024-2025 (15GP): SV% = 906 | HDS = 0.860% | GSAE = 3.5
