Sam Montembeault - Back in the win column Montembeault stopped 29 of 31 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

Impact Montembeault had three long days to dwell on his previous outing Tuesday, when he was pulled in the first period after allowing four goals on 10 shots. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Montembeault, whose played better than his previous outing might suggest. He has a 2.94 goals-against average and .914 save percentage for a team that entered the night with the second-most high-danger scoring chances allowed (95), per Natural Stat Trick.

Lucas Condotta - Called up Saturday Condotta was called up from AHL Laval on Saturday.

Impact Condotta's call-up is presumably as insurance for Josh Anderson (lower body), who was injured in Saturday's game versus the Blues and is questionable to play against the Flyers on Sunday. Through six AHL appearances this season, Condotta has three assists and two PIM.

Josh Anderson - Traveling with team Anderson sustained a lower-body injury in Saturday's game versus the Blues, but he will travel to Philadelphia in advance of Sunday's contest, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Anderson's presence on the road trip is an encouraging sign after he left in the third period of Saturday's game following a blocked shot. The winger has filled a middle-six role, earning three points through eight appearances this season. If he can't play Sunday, the Canadiens would likely need to make a roster move or play a man short.
