Canadiens show offensive firepower in much-needed win over Sabres But explosion of goals masked a poor outing by goalie Cayden Primeau, who allowed five goals on 14 shots before being pulled in the 7-5 win.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • MONTREALGAZETTE.COM

Pulled in win over Sabres Primeau surrendered five goals on 14 shots in Monday's 7-5 win over Buffalo.

Impact Primeau was replaced in the third period by Sam Montembeault, who made four saves to claim the win. The 25-year-old Primeau has been burned for 11 goals in his last two outings. He has a 1-2-1 record with a 4.67 GAA and an .845 save percentage through seven appearances this season.

Starting Monday Primeau will get the road start Monday against the Sabres, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact It'll be the first start for Primeau since Oct. 31. The 25-year-old netminder is 1-2-1 on the year while struggling to an .861 save percentage and 4.39 GAA. Primeau will face a Sabres team that's won three of their last four games, scoring 15 goals in that span.

Takes loss in Washington Primeau allowed six goals on 34 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Primeau got the start over a struggling Sam Montembeault, but it didn't change Montreal's fortunes. The Canadiens, who were embarrassed in an 8-2 loss to the Kraken on Tuesday, allowed another six tallies and are tied for last in the NHL with 4.18 goals allowed per game. The Habs next take on the Penguins in Pittsburgh.

Facing Capitals Primeau will be between the visiting pipes in Washington on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Primeau came on in relief of Sam Montembeault on Tuesday and gave up three goals on 13 shots in an 8-2 loss to Seattle. Primeau is 1-1-1 with a 4.03 GAA and an .871 save percentage in five contests this season. The Capitals have found the back of the net 31 times in only eight games in 2024-25.

Poor in relief appearance Primeau stopped 10 of 13 shots in relief of Sam Montembeault in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Primeau has allowed at least three goals in all five of his appearances this season (three starts). The 25-year-old is fortunate to have a 1-1-1 record while adding a 4.03 GAA and an .871 save percentage. It's discouraging to see Primeau struggle after he seemed to turn things around in 2023-24, but until he gets back on track, he's not an option outside the deepest of fantasy formats.

OCTOBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Holds on for win Primeau stopped 23 of 26 shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact The Canadiens led 4-1 for much of the third period, but the Flyers scored twice late in the frame to make things interesting. Primeau was able to hold the fort, earning his first win in four appearances this season. He's allowed a total of 15 goals on 126 shots while going 1-1-1. Sam Montembeault has handled the starting duties for the Canadiens, and that's likely to continue with Primeau doing little to make a case for more playing time. Montreal doesn't have a back-to-back over the next week.

Slated to start Sunday Primeau will start between the pipes during Sunday's road matchup against Philadelphia, JF Chaumont of LNH.com reports.

Impact Montreal will play a back-to-back Saturday against the Blues and Sunday against the Flyers, and Primeau will be in the crease for Sunday's road matchup while Sam Montembeault starts at home Saturday. Over his first three starts of the season, Primeau has posted an 0-1-1 record, 4.21 GAA and .880 save percentage.

Fills in for ineffective starter Primeau entered Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Rangers midway through the first period and stopped 32 of 35 shots.

Impact Primeau relieved an ineffective Sam Montembeault, who was chased after letting in four goals on 10 shots. Primeau held strong for awhile and was called on to make several high-danger scoring chances before buckling in the third period under a barrage -- New York fired 45 shots on net, had another 20 attempts that missed the mark, and the Canadiens blocked 16 other attempts. Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis has some time to consider which netminder will start this coming Saturday against the Blues.

Finally falls in shootout Saturday Primeau turned aside 33 shots in regulation and overtime and six of nine shootout attempts in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.

Impact The 25-year-old was the busier of the two goalies on the night, but Primeau couldn't handle Noah Dobson's shot in the ninth round of the shootout as the Habs fell short. It was a much better showing than Primeau managed in his first start of the season, but his .862 save percentage still has him firmly behind Sam Montembeault on the Montreal depth chart.
