Canadiens make a decision in net and Martin St. Louis delivers big statement on Cayden Primeau

The Canadiens' goalie situation is stirring up conversations, particularly concerning Cayden Primeau.

Several experts believe that Kent Hughes should place Primeau on NHL waivers.

Toward the end of his press briefing, head coach Martin St. Louis was specifically asked about Primeau.

Here's what he said:

"It's always difficult to pull a goalie, you know. Goalies are more than just players; they're human beings, and you know that it's a very tough feeling for him. So, as a head coach, you never like to pull a goalie, but you just have to trust your instincts and do what's best for the team at the moment you make the decision."

We can sense that Martin doesn't want to give up on Primeau too quickly and that the organization wants to be careful not to affect the 25-year-old goaltender emotionally.

Primeau has a save percentage of .845 this season, with a goals-against average of 4.67 and only one win. In his career, he has an average of 3.63 and a save percentage of .887.

Speaking of goaltenders, the Montreal Canadiens had Samuel Montembeault in net against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night.
