Fantasy Analysis
Certainly a night to forget for Al Montoya, and probably his last game in an Islanders uniform as he is unlikely to be brought back next season. Montoya couldn't find the form this season that he had after being acquired from Phoenix during the 2010-11 campaign. He'll look to find a backup job during the summer. (Updated 04/07/2012).
03/27/2012 21:45 Isles snap Penguins' home win streak
Frans Nielsen scored twice and the New York Islanders won in Pittsburgh for the first time in more than four years with a 5-2 victory over the Penguins on Tuesday night.
Montoya was nothing short of a godsend for the Islanders last season, when the team acquired him from Phoenix. Originally thought of as a stopgap option until the Isles got healthier in goal, Montoya grabbed the starting job by the throat and played exceptionally well. In 20 games, he compiled a 9-5-5 record, 2.39 goals-against average and .921 save percentage. One would think with numbers that are much better than those belonging to Rick DiPietro, Montoya would be guaranteed the starting job entering camp, but if DiPietro proves himself to be healthy, he will see his share of starts as the Isles are still unwilling to give up on him, thus lessening Montoya's value.
