Canadiens' Montoya out indefinitely with concussion

The Montreal Canadiens' goaltending depth is about to be tested even more than it has been in the absence of Carey Price.

Al Montoya is out indefinitely as he recovers from a concussion, the club announced Saturday night.

The 32-year-old took a Dustin Byfuglien slap shot to the mask in last Saturday's win over the Winnipeg Jets.

Montoya finished that game but hasn't played since.

Charlie Lindgren has taken the goaltending reins for Montreal with both Price and Montoya hurt, and Zach Fucale backed up Lindgren on Saturday night.
