Record of 15-2-0: Cayden Primeau does everything he can to return to the NHL

The start of the season for Cayden Primeau with the Canadiens was atrocious.

That led to the point where the management got tired. Primeau was sent back to the American League and Jakub Dobes came to take his place in the Habs’ lineup.

But since he’s been back in Laval, there’s not much to complain about in the goalkeeper’s game.

Because if the Rocket is at the top of the overall standings in the AHL, it’s partly because of him.

Primeau is on fire, in fact:

  • 15-2-0 record
  • Average of 2.21 goals allowed
  • .914 save percentage

The 25-year-old goalkeeper – who will turn 26 in August – is doing everything he can to get back to the National League.

We must also remember that his contract will end at the end of the season and he will be a restricted free agent this summer. And with Jacob Fowler expected to make the leap to the pros, maybe there won’t be room for him within the organization and management will choose to move on.

A bit like what happened with Jesse Ylönen last summer with all the recruits who arrived in Laval.

But still, it won’t be surprising to see Primeau come to an agreement with another team if the Habs decide not to offer him a new contract because he’s proving himself in Laval.

However, if he can also help the Rocket have a good run in the playoffs (at the expense of Fowler?), it will give him even more chances.


Overtime

– The Habs won tonight. 5-3!

– Johnny Gaudreau really liked Cole Caufield.

– Well done.

– That would hurt.

– Oh
