The Montreal Canadiens are off to a great start to the 2016-17 season. The Habs had to deal with the loss of Carey Price for the first three games with the flu. The team was awful without Price last season, but thanks to Al Montoya, they are yet to lose in regulation.
Montoya was signed to a modest one-year $950,000 contract on July 1. Though he is not a big name, the American goaltender has proven to be a solid backup. He has made stops with the Phoenix Coyotes, New York Islanders, Winnipeg Jets and Florida Panthers.
