In the last few minutes, the Montreal Canadiens practiced at the SAP Center ahead of tomorrow afternoon's matchup against the San Jose Sharks. According to many journalists on site, the head coach of the Canadiens, Martin St-Louis, might make a surprising change to his lineup.
Indeed, it seems likely that young Cayden Primeau could get his fourth start this season. The 24-year-old goaltender was in the starter's net during practice, while Samuel Montembeault and Jake Allen shared duties at the other end of the rink.

This would be a third start in the last eight games for number 30, who was previously considered the third goalie in the organization's hierarchy. Has Martin St-Louis finally decided to share the goaltending duties equally among his three netminders?
In three games so far this season, Cayden Primeau has compiled a record of one win and two losses, with a goals-against average of 3.97 and a save percentage of .885.
