Cayden Primeau will hope his second start of the season goes better than his first when the Montreal Canadiens take on the New York Islanders on Saturday night at UBS Arena.
Puck drop after 7 p.m. (CityTV, SNE, TVA Sports, TSN Radio 690, 98.5 FM).
Primeau allowed six goals on 29 shots in a loss to the Bruins on Oct. 10.
Defenceman Kaiden Guhle didn’t make the trip to Long Island after suffering an upper-body injury against the Kings on Thursday. Logan Mailloux was called up from the AHL’s Laval Rocket.
Coach Martin St. Louis says Mike Matheson (upper-body injury) and Juraj Slafkovsky (upper-body injury) are game-time decisions.
