Montreal Canadiens Announce Press Conference as All Eyes Turn to Cayden Primeau
It's worth noting that the Habs are playing back-to-back games, that Samuel Montembeault played last night, but most importantly, Martin St-Louis has never confirmed that Primeau would be in net tonight.
This is a situation we will undoubtedly monitor closely tonight, during Martin St-Louis' press conference, which is scheduled for around 5:40 PM ET.
«No morning skate for the Habs; Martin St-Louis will address the media around 5:40 PM ET to discuss lineup changes, etc., ahead of the second half of the back-to-back games against the Detroit Red Wings, the Habs' final home game of 2024.»

Samuel Montembeault or Cayden Primeau in net?
We will have the answer tonight around 5:40 PM.
If it were your decision, what would you do?
Montembeault was excellent last night (as was Jakub Dobes in Laval, by the way), but at some point, Samuel cannot play every game.
He will need a rest at some point.
Montembeault, 28 years old, has a record of 11-13-2 this season, with a goals-against average of 2.93 and a save percentage of 0.901.
As for Primeau, 25 years old, he has a record of 2-3-1 this season, with a goals-against average of 4.70 and a historically poor save percentage of 0.836.
