Busy in Tuesday's shootout loss
GMontreal Canadiens
April 17, 2024
Primeau turned aside 36 shots in regulation and overtime and two of three shootout attempts in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Red Wings.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old netminder nearly stole a win for the Canadiens in their regular-season finale, but David Perron found a tying goal for the visitors with just five seconds left in the third period, and Patrick Kane was the only successful skater for either team in the shootout. Primeau gave up four goals or more in each of his last four starts this season while going 0-2-2, and he finishes the season with an 8-9-4 record over 23 outings with a 2.99 GAA and .910 save percentage. While he won't be the favorite, Primeau should head into camp next season competing with Sam Montembeault for Montreal's starting job.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Seattle interested?
GMontreal Canadiens
December 7, 2023
Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network believes the Kraken have inquired to Montreal about the availability of Primeau.
ANALYSIS
Primeau has a 2-3-0 record, 3.73 GAA and .886 save percentage in five contests this year. While those numbers are underwhelming, Primeau is just 24 years old and comes with an $890,000 annual cap hit through 2024-25, so he would be a low-risk addition with upside. With Montreal carrying three healthy goaltenders on its active roster, the team might be willing to move Primeau.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
Primeau appears to be the Canadiens' goalie of the future, but for now, the 21-year-old is likely set to battle Charlie Lindgren for the taxi squad job in 2020-21. Primeau was solid in 33 games for AHL Laval last year, as he had a 17-11-3 record with a 2.45 GAA and a .908 save percentage. More than likely, Primeau will spend the upcoming season in the minors, as the organization will want him to get playing time. He's not expected to make a fantasy impact yet, and with Jake Allen under contract through the 2022-23 season, any dynasty managers rostering Primeau will have to wait quite some time for a return on investment.
