Primeau made 40 saves in a 5-4 shootout loss to Ottawa on Saturday.
Primeau stopped a load of rubber but was hard on himself in the postgame media scrum. "They got all four [with us] a man down," Primeau said. "Your goalie's got to be your best penalty-killer, so I don't feel good." He hasn't won in April (0-2-1 in three starts) while allowing 14 goals in those three games, but Primeau has a .910 save percentage in 20 starts this season despite an 8-9-3 record. We expect him to be in the league full-time next season, and the 24-year-old goalie may deliver spot start value, or even more if the Canadiens ice a more competitive group of skaters in front of him.
