With Al Montoya not able to play tonight for the Montreal Canadiens, Zach Fucale will get the call to back up Carey Price against the Dallas Stars tonight.
Montoya was scheduled to start for the Habs, but suffered an injury in practice. Charlie Lindgren would not be able to make it from St. John’s in time, so Fucale - who has been playing for the ECHL’s Brampton Beast - will be recalled.
Fucale has a 25-12-2 record with a 3.17 GAA and .898 save percentage for the Beast. He also won the Gold Medal at the Spengler Cup earlier this year.
