Canadiens' Cayden Primeau: Holds on for win
Cayden Primeau stopped 23 of 26 shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Flyers.The Montreal Canadiens led 4-1 for much of the third period, but the Flyers scored twice late in the frame to make things interesting. Primeau was able to hold the fort, earning his first win in four appearances this season. He's allowed a total of 15 goals on 126 shots while going 1-1-1. Sam Montembeault has handled the starting duties for the Canadiens, and that's likely to continue with Primeau doing little to make a case for more playing time. Montreal doesn't have a back-to-back over the next week.

Cayden Primeau turned aside 33 shots in regulation and overtime and six of nine shootout attempts in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Islanders.The 25-year-old was the busier of the two goalies on the night, but Primeau couldn't handle Noah Dobson's shot in the ninth round of the shootout as the Habs fell short.
