Goalie Cayden Primeau happy to be back with Canadiens
Article content
'He's exceptional,' Primeau said. 'He gets the best out of his players. You know where he stands. He doesn't play mind games. He's a straight shooter. The guys love playing for him and the success that team has had shows that.'
Primeau's future remains uncertain since he can become a restricted free agent on July 1 and the Rocket now have Jacob Fowler, who won the Mike Richter Award as the best goalie in NCAA Division 1 this season after posting a 25-7-2 record with a 1.63 GAA and a .940 save percentage at Boston College. In his first three games with the Rocket, Fowler has a 2-1-0 record with a 2.32 GAA and a .914 save percentage.
Primeau said he can be inspired by Washington goalie Charlie Lindgren, who used to be his partner in Laval. Lindgren left the Canadiens as a free agent four years ago and the 31-year-old signed a three-year, US$9-million contract extension with the Capitals in March.
'I just wanted to play,' Primeau said about his time in Laval. 'That was the biggest thing. I didn't really have to prove anything. I just wanted to have fun playing and play as much as possible.'
