Cayden Primeau is the goalie of the month for January in the American Hockey League

On December 29, the Canadiens decided they had had enough.

The team sent Cayden Primeau down to the American Hockey League because the goaltender wasnt performing in Montreal.

From October to the end of December, it was really, really tough for the player involved.

But now, Primeau has been on fire since his return to the American Hockey League.

He has won his first nine games of the season with the Rocket, and his performances are not going unnoticed either.

Primeau has been named Goaltender of the Month in the AHL: Cayden Primeau est nomme gardien du mois de janvier dans lAHL Cayden Primeau named AHL Goalie of the Month for the month of January #GoRocket https://t.co/0qprpeMulf pic.twitter.com/WGl4EBb77M Rocket de Laval (@RocketLaval) February 5, 2025 In nine games, Primeau has a record of 9-0-0, a goals-against average of 1.96, and a save percentage of .923.

Things are really going well for him, to put it another way.

Seeing Primeau perform so well down there raises questions about what the Canadiens think of the situation.

And it also makes one wonder what the organizations plan is regarding the goaltender.

Because in Montreal, Jakub Dobes is playing like a guy who doesnt deserve to be sent back to Laval.

Its hard to move him out right now...

And if Primeau continues to rack up wins, his performance in the American Hockey League is really going to start getting attention.

But ultimately, its interesting to see that Primeau has regained his confidence and is winning games again.

It remains to be seen if he will have another chance to prove himself in Montreal...

or elsewhere in the National Hockey League.

In Brief Makes sense.

Quinn Hughes wont travel with the Canucks to San Jose, and will miss his 3rd straight game.

The first game of Four Nations Face-Off for Team USA is in one week.
