Laval’s goaltenders are the talk of the town.

A few days ago, colleague Maxime Truman said that the Rocket’s plan was to play Jacob Fowler in Game #4 of the series against Cleveland and Cayden Primeau in the game after.

And that’s whether the Rocket wins or loses against the Monsters in game #4.

Fowler eventually played (and won) game #4, eliminating the Monsters. And now, on the heels of tonight’s game, the first in the series against Rochester and the first since the series against Cleveland, Cayden Primeau is lining up to play.

He’s working out like a starter in practice, which is a sure sign.

Let’s not forget that Pascal Vincent has to deal with two top-tier AHL goaltenders, which is a nice problem to have for a playoff-bound coach.

It’s no surprise to see the veteran goaltender, who has a lot of mileage and brought the Rocket to the playoffs, playing tonight. Fowler will have his turn a little later in the series, that’s for sure.

Remember that Jacob Fowler has won all three playoff games so far. And since he’s possibly the club’s future in front of the Canadiens’ net, we’ll want to give him some ice time too.

The opposite would be illogical.

In either case, it’s clear that this will create (healthy, at best) competition between the two Americans. After all, they know that the Rocket has options in the event of a poor performance.

It remains to be seen how the series will unfold.

– Will he quit?

– Hmm…

– Really?
