Montembeault is in the starter's crease at the Canadiens morning skate.
The Canadiens recalled Cayden Primeau from Laval (AHL).
Jake Allen suffered a lower-body injury in Saturday's loss to the Maple Leafs and Carey Price doesn't appear ready yet, so Primeau figures to serve as Sam Montembeault's backup on Monday. Primeau is 15-10-3 with a 2.87 GAA and .912 SV% in 30 AH games this season.
Pezzetta (upper-body) will draw into the Canadiens lineup on Saturday.
Pezzetta has missed the last six games with an upper-body injury but will play Saturday in Toronto. Pezzetta will replace Jesse Ylonen and will likely skate on the fourth line.
Barron will be a healthy scratch on Thursday.
Line Change
Byron will come out of the Canadiens lineup on Thursday.

Newhook (illness) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.
Newhook is dealing with a non-COVID illness and is questionable to play on Tuesday. He didn't travel with the team initially but is currently on his way to Pittsburgh and may play against the Penguins.
Gallagher (lower-body) will return to the Canadiens lineup on Tuesday.
Gallagher has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since March 17th but is set to play Tuesday vs. the Senators. It's unclear who he will skate with but he enters play with just five goals and nine assists (14 points) in 43 games this season.
The Canadiens have signed Emil Heineman to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Heineman was originally a second-round pick of the Panthers in 2020. He was traded to Calgary as part of the Sam Bennett trade and then traded to Montreal as a part of the Tyler Toffoli trade. The 20-year-old winger scored 11 goals with five assists (16 points) in 38 games with Leksands IF (SHL) this season.
The Canadiens have signed Lucas Condotta to a one-year, entry-level contract.
Condotta was an undrafted free agent out of UMass-Lowell. The 24-year-old forward had 10 goals with 13 assists (23 points) in 33 games this season.
The Canadiens have signed Joshua Roy to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Dach (illness) is not on the ice for warmups.
Dach (illness) will be a game-time decision on Monday.
Dach missed the morning skate due to a non-COVID illness and will be a game-time decision vs. the Sabres. If Dach can't play, look for Philipp Kurashev to draw back into the lineup.
Goalie Start
Montembeault starts Sunday in New Jersey.
Gallagher is expected to miss at least one week with a lower-body injury.
Gallagher will miss 4-to-5 games after picking up a lower-body injury in Thursday's loss to the Panthers. With Jonathan Drouin also out for an extended period of time, the Canadiens scoring depth will be tested.
The Canadiens acquired Nate Schnarr from the Devils for Andrew Hammond.
