With Jakub Dobes being recalled earlier on Friday, Cayden Primeau’s future with the Canadiens came into question. That’s an even bigger question now with head coach Martin St. Louis stating that Montreal will put Primeau on waivers on Saturday.
With the Habs set to resume their road trip, they have brought up some extra insurance between the pipes as the team announced that Jakub Dobes has been recalled from Laval.
The 2025 World Junior Hockey Championship is set to run from December 26th through January 5th. While the Habs have been well-represented in recent years, it’s not the case as only one prospect will take part. We’ll keep track of his stats here.
Laval played their final two games before the holiday break last week. Despite struggling over the past few weeks, they were better on home ice, picking up victories in both of them to move back into first in the division.
Montreal made their first trade of note this season when they sent Justin Barron to Nashville for Alexandre Carrier. Having had some time to ponder the swap, our writers offer up their thoughts.
The Habs had a chance to gain some ground against some struggling division rivals this past week and they did just that, taking all three games including two in blowout fashion.
The Habs have made a swap to shake things up on the back end. The team announced that they’ve traded Justin Barron to Nashville in exchange for Alexandre Carrier.
After losing in Winnipeg on Saturday, the Habs looked to get back in the win column on Tuesday as they hosted Buffalo. They took advantage of a big night from Patrik Laine on the power play and picked up the 6-1 win.
Laval’s strong start to the season wasn’t believed to be sustainable and this past week showed that they’re starting to struggle, particularly their top forwards who were held off the scoresheet. However, an unlikely breakout game from the fourth line helped end the week on a winning note.
This past week was a mixed bag for the Habs. They eked out a win to start, got demolished in the second game, and followed that up with more of a respectable losing effort against one of the top teams. Clearly, consistency is still an issue for them.
