Félix Forget (DansLesCoulisses) summed it up perfectly here:
Montembeault didn't have an easy start to the game Tuesday night at the Bell Centre, but he was absolutely stellar for the rest of the game. And tonight, he'll have the chance to prove that he's truly turned the corner.
It will be a big test for the Quebecer.
