Cayden Primeau - NHL News & Rumors

Perfect in shootout loss Saturday Primeau stopped all 24 shots he faced in AHL Chicago's 1-0 shootout loss to Iowa on Saturday.

Impact Primeau gave up two tallies in the shootout, which denied him the win. He's gone just 3-3-4 since returning to the Hurricanes' organization off waivers Nov. 8 when the Maple Leafs cut him loose a day earlier. However, his 2.54 GAA and .912 save percentage are positive signs for his play. Still, Primeau is unlikely to see NHL minutes any time soon, as the Hurricanes have Brandon Bussi and Pyotr Kochetkov playing regularly, and Frederik Andersen is still around with the big club as a third goalie.

Reclaimed off waivers Carolina has reclaimed Primeau off waivers from Toronto on Saturday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

Impact A waiver claim usually requires the new team to put the player on the NHL roster or re-expose them to waivers. However, Primeau can be sent directly to the minors because Carolina was his original team. The Maple Leafs claimed Primeau off waivers Oct. 6, and he went on to post a 2-1-0 record, 4.31 GAA and .838 save percentage across three appearances with Toronto. He was with the Maple Leafs because Joseph Woll (personal) wasn't available, but Primeau's poor play led Toronto to put him on waivers despite Woll not being ready to return just yet -- Woll is getting back up to speed following his long absence by playing in the AHL on a conditioning stint.

Placed on waivers Primeau was placed on waivers Friday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Impact Primeau's status was determined when Joseph Woll (personal) returned to Toronto after missing five weeks of action. While Primeau could be sent to AHL Toronto if he passes through waivers, the Maple Leafs will likely recall Dennis Hildeby to back up Anthony Stolarz while Woll is on a conditioning stint with the Marlies.

Struggles against Blue Jackets Primeau stopped 18 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Primeau wasn't at his best in his first two starts, but this was his first loss of the season. He's allowed 13 goals on 80 shots while serving as Anthony Stolarz's backup over the first month of the season. Joseph Woll (personal) has resumed practicing with the Maple Leafs but still needs time to get up to game speed. With no back-to-back sets in the next week, it's unclear if Primeau will get another start with the big club before Woll returns to action.

Drawing start against Columbus Primeau will defend the road crease against Columbus on Wednesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Impact The Maple Leafs are playing the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday, so Primeau will draw his third start of the year after Anthony Stolarz started in Tuesday's win over Calgary. Over his previous two starts this year, Primeau has gone 2-0-0 with a 3.47 GAA and .875 save percentage.

Earns second win of season Primeau made 23 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over Buffalo on Saturday.

Impact Primeau was expected to get the start after Anthony Stolarz (rest) played Friday. He has won both games he started for Toronto, recording a 3.46 GAA and .875 save percentage. Joseph Woll (personal) returned to the ice Saturday, but it's unclear when he will be ready to suit up for the Leafs. He cannot play in a game until at least Nov. 1 due to his LTIR status. Primeau will remain with the big club until he does, and he will likely get another start, maybe more.

Impact Primeau will get his second start of the season in a rematch of Friday's game, which the Sabres won 5-3 with Anthony Stolarz in goal. In his Toronto debut, Primeau stopped 26 of 30 shots in a 7-4 win over the Predators.
