As expected, the Laval Rocket announced in the last few minutes that Cayden Primeau will be the starting goaltender for tonight's game against the Toronto Marlies at Place Bell. This decision is now officially confirmed.
Indeed, the Montreal Canadiens did not recall any additional goaltenders, which means that Samuel Montembeault will be the starting goaltender for tonight's game. However, the question of his backup remains uncertain, as it is still unclear whether Jake Allen will be able to dress due to his injury. The goaltending situation for the Canadiens is therefore very interesting to follow.
If that happens, it would certainly make for a great story, as emergency goalies are often local or amateur players who live out a fleeting dream by donning an NHL team's uniform.
