Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: Logs second AHL win
Primeau stopped all 16 shots faced Friday in AHL Laval's 6-0 win over Cleveland.
Primeau's won two straight starts since rejoining the Rocket and has done it with style, allowing one goal on 44 shots (.977 save percentage) as he works to get back to the NHL. However, Jakub Dobes does not appear to be going anywhere for the time being. He's won all three starts with Montreal, including victories over Florida, Colorado and Washington.

Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: Wins first start after demotion
Primeau stopped 27 of 28 shots for AHL Laval in Friday's 2-1 overtime win over Abbotsford.
Primeau made his first start for the Rocket since clearing NHL waivers last weekend. Montreal waived the 25-year-old netminder, who was 2-3-1 with a 4.69 goals-against average and .836 save percentage over 11 outings, and called up Jakub Dobes to serve as the backup to Sam Montembeault. Dobes, who posted a 34-save shutout over Florida in his NHL debut last Saturday, will stick with the Canadiens for now while Primeau attempts to find his game in the AHL.

Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: Clears waivers
Primeau cleared waivers Sunday and will report to AHL Laval, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.
Primeau was placed on waivers Saturday after posting a 4.69 GAA and .836 save percentage. Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis lost confidence in the 25-year-old goalie, whose last start was Dec. 1. Jakub Dobes, who was called up from AHL Laval to replace Primeau, shut out the Panthers in his NHL debut Saturday.

Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: Going on waivers
Primeau will be placed on waivers Saturday, Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette reports.
Primeau made one start in December and currently owns a 4.70 GAA and an .836 save percentage through 11 appearances. A waiver move seemed inevitable after Montreal called up Jakub Dobes from AHL Laval to start Saturday's road contest in Florida. A fresh start elsewhere may be the best thing for Primeau, who crumbled under the pressure of playing in Montreal. If he passes through waivers, Primeau will head to Laval.

Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: Summoned for relief
Primeau allowed three goals on seven shots in Thursday's 9-2 loss to Pittsburgh.
Primeau hadn't been on the ice since giving up five goals on 29 shots in a 6-3 loss to Boston on Dec. 1. He entered midway through the Penguins six-goal third period. The relief entrance marked the fourth time he's replaced a struggling Sam Montembeault. Primeau has a 4.70 GAA and .836 save percentage through 11 appearances (seven starts).

Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: Lit up in Boston
Primeau allowed five goals on 29 shots in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins.
The Bruins jumped on Primeau and the Canadiens with three goals in a 70-second span midway through the first period. The fourth goal allowed was a shorthanded one, but it came on a breakaway, which suggests Primeau wasn't always supported by the team in front of him. Still, it was the fourth time in seven starts that he's allowed at least five goals. Primeau sports a 4.45 GAA and .844 save percentage over 10 outings. Sam Montembeault will likely be back between the pipes Tuesday at home against the Islanders.

Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: Starting Sunday
Primeau will be between the pipes for Sunday's road game versus Boston, according to Marc Denis of RDS.
Primeau will get the second half of Montreal's back-to-back after Sam Montembeault played in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers. The 25-year-old Primeau is coming off a 21-save effort in a 4-3 overtime win over Columbus on Wednesday. He has a 2-2-1 record with a 4.37 GAA and an .846 save percentage through nine appearances this season. Boston is tied for last in the league with 2.32 goals per game in 2024-25.

Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: Holds on for win
Primeau stopped 20 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win against Columbus.
Primeau backstopped Montreal's first overtime win of the season. His defense let him down on the first two goals and the third got past him on a carom off a Montreal skate. It was a hopeful outing for Primeau, who made his first start since Nov. 11. He entered the night with a 4.59 goals-against average and .842 save percentage, which explains the recent lull in activity. Montreal continues its road trip Saturday in New York against the Rangers.

Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: Gets starting nod for Wednesday
Primeau will be between the pipes on the road against Columbus on Wednesday.
Primeau will get the second game of the Habs' back-to-back while Sam Montembeault guards the crease versus Utah on Tuesday. In his eight appearances this year, the 25-year-old Primeau is sporting a 1-2-1 record, 4.59 GAA and a career-worst .842 save percentage. Those numbers certainly aren't going to give the coaching staff confidence to deploy Primeau for more than the occasional back-to-back.

Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: Guards net for third period
Primeau replaced starter Sam Montembeault for the third period of Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
For the third time this season, Primeau replaced an ineffective Montembeault, who gave up five goals in the second period. Primeau faced just three shots, giving up a goal to Jack Eichel. Montembeault is ripe for being replaced as the No. 1, but Primeau sports an ugly 4.59 GAA and a disappointing .842 save percentage through eight appearances.

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

Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: Starting Monday
Primeau will get the road start Monday against the Sabres, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
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 the Sabres, who have won three of their last four games, scoring 15 goals in that span.

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

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

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

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

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

Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: 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.
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 prevent 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 16 other attempts were blocked. Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis has some time to consider which netminder will start this coming Saturday against the Blues.

Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: 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.
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 this season still has him firmly behind Sam Montembeault on the Montreal depth chart.

Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: Facing Islanders
Primeau will protect the road crease against the Islanders on Saturday.
Primeau had a tough outing in his first game of the season, giving up six goals on 29 shots in a 6-4 loss versus Boston. Primeau is the backup to Sam Montembeault this season and should appear in 25-30 games, barring any injuries. The Islanders have scored only 10 goals in four games this season.
