Personnel movement announced within the Montreal Canadiens organization involving the young Luke Cavallin
We have an interesting personnel move that was announced within the Montreal Canadiens organization in the last few minutes.
The Canadiens' AHL affiliate, the Laval Rocket, has just called up 23-year-old goaltender Luke Cavallin.
It's a rather intriguing decision, especially considering that the two goalies in Laval are Connor Hughes and Jakub Dobes, both of whom are having a solid start to the season, so let's hope it's not related to an injury.
The Montreal Canadiens reveal the 5th goaltender in the organization
Another interesting point with this call-up is that it seems to confirm the Canadiens' goaltending hierarchy.
Goaltender #1 - Samuel Montembeault
Goaltender #2 - Cayden Primeau
Goaltender #3 - Jakub Dobes
Goaltender #4 - Connor Hughes
And now it seems to confirm that Cavallin is the #5 goaltender.
This season in Laval, Dobes has a 2-0-0 record, a goals-against average of 2.00, and a save percentage of 0.900.
As for Hughes, he has a 1-1-0 record, a goals-against average of 1.02, and a save percentage of 0.958.
Very solid!
Going back to the freshly recalled goaltender, Luke Cavallin is a goalie we discovered during the most recent Montreal Canadiens training camp.
At 23 years old, Cavallin, a former Toronto Maple Leafs prospect, stands 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 196 pounds.
In one game this season with the Trois-Rivières Lions, he allowed 3 goals on 28 shots, taking the loss.
And what about you? What is your prediction for the new goaltending hierarchy within the Montreal Canadiens organization in a few months?
More details to follow.
