Florida Panthers: Should Montembeault Start as the Backup Next Season?
After exploding onto the scene last season, 22-year-old goaltender Sam Montembeault is hoping to permanently pencil in his spot on the Florida Panthers roster.
The former third-round pick went 4-3-2 in eleven games last season, starting ten of them, and being pulled only once. He finished with a 3.05 goals against average and a save percentage of .894 with zero shutouts in 592 total minutes.
After rattling off a tremendous start in net – going 4-0-1 through his first five starts – he seemed to give the Panthers some hopes going forward between the pipes.
