Cayden Primeau - Page 8 - NHL News & Rumors

Guarding road net Friday Primeau is expected to start on the road against San Jose on Friday.

Impact Primeau has a 1-2-0 record, 3.98 GAA and .885 save percentage in three contests this season. He surrendered six goals on 42 shots in a 6-5 loss to Vegas in his previous start last Thursday. The Sharks, who rank last offensively with 1.47 goals per game, are likely to give Primeau less trouble.

Needs a little help from friends Primeau made 36 saves in a 6-5 loss to Vegas on Thursday.

Impact Primeau wasn't the problem -- he needed help from his teammates, and as Habs' coach Martin St. Louis said after the game, "We shot ourselves in the foot a lot." Primeau was coming off a sharp win over Detroit on Nov. 9, but the the Golden Knights are a far better team. There's little need to carry Primeau on your fantasy roster unless you're in a deep dynasty.

Notches first win Primeau made 27 saves in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Impact Making just his second start of the season, Primeau probably wanted another crack at Detroit's tying goal in the third period -- a sharp-angle shot from J.T. Compher that caught the netminder slightly off the near post -- but Cole Caufield bailed him out in OT. It's Primeau's first win of 2023-24 and just the fourth in his NHL career over 23 appearances, but as long as Jake Allen and Sam Montembeault are healthy, work will be hard to come by for the Habs' No. 3 goalie.

Between pipes Thursday Primeau will tend the twine on the road against Detroit on Thursday.

Impact Primeau will make just his second appearance of the season as the Habs continue to rotate through all three backstops. In his prior outing, the 24-year-old Michigan native gave up four goals on 33 shots (.879 save percentage) in a losing effort versus the Devils. Even if Primeau puts together a strong performance, he will likely continue to see limited opportunities as long as all three goalies remain on the roster.

Fades late against Devils Primeau stopped 29 of 33 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Devils.

Impact New Jersey's final goal was scored into an empty net. Primeau kept Montreal in the game early as he made his first start of the season, but the Devils' power play eventually took control as New Jersey pulled away in the third period. Jake Allen has started three games so far and Sam Montembeault has started two, and Primeau likely didn't do enough Tuesday to turn the Habs' crease into a true three-way timeshare. It'll likely take a trade or an injury to one of the goalies ahead of him in the pecking order for the 24-year-old Primeau to see consistent action.
