The Montreal Canadiens have signed goaltender Samuel Montembeault to a two-year contract extension, the club announced Monday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Montembeault, 25, compiled an 8-18-6 record in 38 games with the Canadiens last season, along with a 3.77 goals-against average and a .891 save percentage.
