Canadiens' Al Montoya: Slated to start Wednesday

Montoya will protect the net Wednesday against the Islanders, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Analysis:

Montoya's starts will likely be few and far between this season backing up one of the best goaltenders in the NHL. That said, he performed well in his first three starts this season, going 2-0-1 with a 1.30 GAA and .962 save percentage. The veteran netminder will look to keep things rolling Tuesday against an Islanders club averaging three goals per game so far.
