On the tail end of a back-to-back, the Canadiens will turn to Primeau in net on Wednesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Primeau has struggled this season and as a result has seen very limited action lately. The 25-year-old netminder is sporting an ugly 4.59 GAA and .842 SV% in eight appearances (1-2-1).

The Canadiens are riding a six-game losing skid and will turn to Primeau between the pipes for the first time since October 31st when he allowed six goals on 28 shots (.824 SV%) in a 6-3 loss to the Washington Capitals. The 25-year-old Primeau has an ugly 4.38 GAA and .861 SV% in six games this season (1-2-1).

The Canadiens had a disastrous 8-2 loss against the Seattle Kraken in their last outing and will rotate to Primeau in the crease on Thursday against the Washington Capitals. Primeau entered Tuesday's loss to Seattle in relief of Samuel Montembeault, allowing three goals on 13 shots (.769 SV%). That said, Primeau has been solid in his previous three outings (1-0-1), posting a .907 SV%. The Canadiens enter the action on Tuesday as +180 road underdogs against the Washington Capitals.

On the tail end of a back-to-back, the Canadiens will turn to Primeau between the pipes on Sunday against the Philadelphia Flyers. Despite allowing six combined goals in his last two outings (0-0-1), Primeau has been solid in limited action for the Canadiens lately, posting a .915 SV%. The Canadiens enter the action on Sunday as +146 road underdogs against the Flyers.

The Canadiens won their season opener 1-0 over the Toronto Maple Leafs last night, courtesy of an outstanding 48-save shutout performance by Sam Montembeault. However, the Canadiens will turn to Primeau between the pipes on Thursday for the tail end of their back-to-back set. The 25-year-old Primeau faced the heaviest workload of his young career last season and was impressive doing so, posting a solid 2.99 GAA and .910 SV% in 23 appearances (8-9-4). The Canadiens enter action on Thursday as sizeable +239 road underdogs against the Boston Bruins.

Primeau will take the crease for the second half of Montreal's back-to-back with Detroit on Tuesday in Montreal. The 24-year-old took a big step forward in 2023-24 with career highs in almost all statistical categories such as .910 SV%, 2.95 GAA, and two shutouts to go along with his 8-9-3 record. He hosts the desperate Detroit Red Wings for game 82, who need another victory on Tuesday to have a shot at making the playoffs.

The Canadiens have won four of their last five and will roll with Primeau in the crease for the third time in the last five games. Primeau has been excellent lately, allowing one or fewer goals in three of his last four (3-1-0), including saving 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) in his last outing, a 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Canadiens are riding a rare two-game winning streak, outscoring their opposition 7-2, and will turn to Primeau in net for the second time in the last three games. Primeau has allowed one or fewer goals in two of his last three starts (2-1-0), including saving 36 of 37 shots (.973 SV%) in his last outing, a 5-1 win over the Seattle Kraken. The Canadiens enter action as +138 home favourites against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Primeau will make his first start since the Canadiens traded Jake Allen to the New Jersey Devils. Primeau should be in line for more action down the stretch as he shares the crease with Sam Montembeault. That said, Primeau has allowed three goals in back-to-back games, including a 4-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in his last outing on March 2nd.

Primeau will return to the crease on Saturday, his first start in four games for the Canadiens. In his last outing, Primeau allowed three goals on 26 shots (.885 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Primeau and the Canadiens will visit the Tampa Bay Lightning, who defeated them 4-3 in their last meeting on December 31st.

The Canadiens have struggled to keep the puck out of their net lately. Coincidently, their only win in the last six games is the only time they've allowed fewer than three goals and the only time Primeau has played in that span, a 13-save shutout in a 5-0 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on February 14th. The Canadiens enter action as sizeable +224 road underdogs against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night.
