Martin St-Louis has just confirmed that Primeau will be in net against the Lightning on Saturday.

It's a significant challenge for the young goalie, who will be tested against the NHL's leading scorer, Nikita Kucherov. It's the perfect moment to prove to the organization that he deserves a spot with the team.
