Cayden Primeau has been on fire since his dismissal to Laval. The goaltender has won each of the seven games so far with the Rocket.
He notably helped his team win its three matches this week, including a 3-2 overtime victory this afternoon thanks to a goal from Logan Mailloux.
Primeau is at the heart of the Rocket’s recent successes which, after a slightly more difficult streak, is back at the top of its division having suffered only one defeat in regulation time in its last ten meetings (8-1- 1).
Since his arrival in Laval, the young goaltender has a goals against average of 1.83, a save percentage of .925 as well as one shutout.
This is a solid turnaround for the young goalkeeper who had had a disastrous season so far with the Canadian. Primeau had just two wins in 11 starts, a stellar 4.70 GAA and a .836 save percentage.
In the weeks leading up to his dismissal, the organization had clearly lost confidence in him as their number two goalie as he entered the third year of a three-year contract worth $2.67 million.
Although Primeau had to go on waivers, no team claimed him and many wondered if his career was over.
However, it seems that the Michigan native instead took advantage of this opportunity to bounce back and find his confidence with the Rocket.
However, the problem for Primeau is that Jakub Dobes continues to do well with the Canadian. Although he suffered his first defeat in overtime last night, absolutely nothing would justify his dismissal.
In addition, I do not believe that the CH wants to relive the menage a trois situation by recalling Primeau.
-So what should the Habs do with Primeau? If the goaltender continues his momentum, could he interest other teams and constitute a bargaining chip by the end of the trading period?
Hard to say when just a month ago 31 teams passed on the chance to acquire him for nothing, but often things can change quickly in professional sports.
In short, for now, let’s hope that Primeau continues his momentum with the Rocket while waiting to see how this situation develops.
