Once again, we waited until the warm-up period to find out the identity of the Rocket’s starting goaltender.
Cayden Primeau led the team out of the tunnel for the warm-up period, which means he’ll be the starting goalie.
Logically, a change of starting goaltender was to be expected. Teams usually alternate goaltenders when playing two games in as many nights.
But the opposite was true!
Primeau must be forgiven for his performance in the first game of the series. His 15 saves against 19 shots were not enough.
So it looks like the end of the musical chairs in front of the Laval net.
Pascal Vincent was reluctant to reveal the identity of his goaltender at his press conference prior to Game 2 against the Checkers. The Laval head coach chose to use a touch of humor with reporters.
“We’re going to have a goalie in net!”

“We’re going to have a goalie in the net!” – Pascal Vincent
Vincent has been keeping his goaltending under wraps since the start of the playoffs. This is a good thing, since it forces the team to study two different goalies.
The only downside is for Rocket fans, who are left debating which goalie is more deserving of a place in front of the net.
For tonight, one thing is certain: it’s Primeau in front of the net.
