Sabres and Canadiens go to a shootout. First of the season for Buffalo.
Cayden Primeau was very good for the Canadiens in the first period. Looked like the version of Primeau the Amerks faced in the Calder Cup Playoffs in 2022. He was so good for Laval in that series.
That was an unbelievable period for Cayden Primeau. He made 17 saves—many of them brilliant—and that was a pretty great way to bounce back from his last performance.
Cayden Primeau has made about four point-blank stops early.
