Young goalie will serve as backup to Sergei Bobrovsky
Days after his new deal got listed on CapFriendly, the Florida Panthers finally announced today that the club has agreed to terms with goaltender Sam Montembeault on a one-year, two-way contract worth $708,750 at the NHL level. Montembeault appeared in 11 games during his first season with Florida, posting a 4-3-2 record, .894 save percentage and 3.05 goals against average.
