The Montreal Canadiens announced they have returned goaltender Cayden Primeau tand reassigned forward Oliver Kapanen to the Laval Rocket. 

The team also assigned goaltender Luke Cavallin to their ECHL affiliate Trois-Rivieres Lions. 

Primeau was recalled to serve as the Canadiens third goaltender for their series against the Washington Capitals. 

The 25-year-old had a dominant record of 21-2-2 with a .927 SP, 1.96 GAA and two shutouts in the AHL this season.

Laval have a fascinating goaltending choice going forward, after a first round bye the Rocket are now up 2-0 on the Cleveland Monsters and Jacob Fowler has looked fantastic in net, backstopping the team to both wins and stopping 43 of 45 shots against in what were his fourth and fifth career professional starts. 

Kapanen has had a busy season, he picked up one assist in 18 regular season games with the Canadiens before heading to the SHL where he notched 15 goals and 35 points in 36 games.

He added three points in six SHL playoff games before returning to North America where he appeared in three games for the Canadiens against the Capitals where he recorded an assist. 

A second round pick of the Canadiens in 2021, Kapanen has a chance to appear in the playoffs for three teams in three different leagues if he suits up for Laval.
