LATEST: St-Louis makes a big lineup change ahead of tomorrow's game
The rumor had been circulating since this morning, but it has just been officially confirmed by the Montreal Canadiens.
Cayden Primeau will be in goal against the Columbus Blue Jackets tomorrow night!
«Cayden Primeau will get the start against the Blue Jackets, Tuesday.» - Montreal Canadiens
Indeed, it will be a 1st start for the young Primeau as the number two goaltender for an NHL team. It will be somewhat a first and a new challenge for him.
It might put more pressure on him, but he's capable of handling it. We're eager to see him back in action, in any case.
Primeau, 24 years old, a 7th-round pick in 2017, has a record of 5-6-2 this season in the NHL, a goals-against average of 3.04, and a save percentage of .901 with one shutout.
We might see him play much more frequently in the coming weeks.
Details to follow.
