The Canadiens' goaltending situation has been the talk of the town since the start of the summer, and it got worse when Casey DeSmith was around. The reality is that there are currently three goaltenders on NHL contracts, and Kent Hughes has an important decision to make. The decision seemed straightforward before camp, but according to Anthony Martineau, nothing is set in stone. <q> I'm not talking about a contract or anything, but pure hockey performance: So far in this camp, Cayden Primeau is no worse than Montembeault and Allen. Not at all. The rest will be interesting. - Anthony Martineau, TVA Sports</q> Last year, Jake Allen had the annoying habit of giving up a goal in the opening minutes of games, on the first shots he received. That was the case again last night, and he hasn't been super convincing since the start of camp. Could Hughes decide to trust young Primeau and trade Allen? Or simply keep three goalies? One thing's for sure, Primeau is pushing hard for his place, and the final decision could be surprising, especially given the club's youth-oriented philosophy. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Antho_Martineau/status/1708988930501104033'> </a></blockquote></div>
