Primeau posted a 16-save shutout in AHL Chicago's 2-0 win over Iowa on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Primeau has two shutouts this season and 15 in his AHL career. He's up to a 13-4-5 record with a 2.38 GAA and a .919 save percentage over 22 appearances this season, though he's been particularly good lately with nine straight wins. Primeau has taken a small step back compared to his 1.96 GAA and .927 save percentage in 26 regular-season outings for Laval last year, but his path to the NHL looks blocked as long as Brandon Bussi and Frederik Andersen stay healthy.

Primeau stopped all 24 shots he faced in AHL Chicago's 1-0 shootout loss to Iowa on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Primeau gave up two tallies in the shootout, which denied him the win. He's gone just 3-3-4 since returning to the Hurricanes' organization off waivers Nov. 8 when the Maple Leafs cut him loose a day earlier. However, his 2.54 GAA and .912 save percentage are positive signs for his play. Still, Primeau is unlikely to see NHL minutes any time soon, as the Hurricanes have Brandon Bussi and Pyotr Kochetkov playing regularly, and Frederik Andersen is still around with the big club as a third goalie.

Carolina has reclaimed Primeau off waivers from Toronto on Saturday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Primeau will report AHL Chicago. The Maple Leafs claimed Primeau off waivers from Carolina on Oct. 6, and he went on to post a 2-1-0 record, 4.31 GAA and .838 save percentage across three appearances with Toronto. Carolina acquired Primeau from Montreal in the offseason and signed him to a one-year contract to develop in the minors. He will finally end up there after struggling as a fill-in option for Joseph Woll (personal) with the Maple Leafs.

Primeau was placed on waivers Friday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Primeau's status was determined when Joseph Woll (personal) returned to Toronto after missing five weeks of action. While Primeau could be sent to AHL Toronto if he passes through waivers, the Maple Leafs will likely recall Dennis Hildeby to back up Anthony Stolarz while Woll is on a conditioning stint with the Marlies.

Primeau stopped 18 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Primeau wasn't at his best in his first two starts, but this was his first loss of the season. He's allowed 13 goals on 80 shots while serving as Anthony Stolarz's backup over the first month of the season. Joseph Woll (personal) has resumed practicing with the Maple Leafs but still needs time to get up to game speed. With no back-to-back sets in the next week, it's unclear if Primeau will get another start with the big club before Woll returns to action.

Primeau will defend the road crease against Columbus on Wednesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Primeau will draw his third start of the year in the second half of Toronto's back-to-back after Anthony Stolarz played in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Calgary. Over his previous two outings this season, Primeau has gone 2-0-0 with a 3.47 GAA and an .875 save percentage.

Primeau made 23 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over Buffalo on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Primeau was expected to get the start after Anthony Stolarz (rest) played Friday. He has won both games he started for Toronto, recording a 3.46 GAA and an .875 save percentage. Joseph Woll (personal) returned to the ice Saturday, but it's unclear when he will be ready to suit up for the Leafs. He cannot play in a game until at least Nov. 1 due to his LTIR status. Primeau will remain with the big club until Woll does, and the 26-year-old Primeau will likely get at least one more start.

Primeau will guard the home goal in Saturday's game versus the Sabres, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Primeau will get his second start of the season in a rematch of Friday's game, which the Sabres won 5-3 with Anthony Stolarz in goal. In his Toronto debut, Primeau stopped 26 of 30 shots in a 7-4 win over the Predators. He'll be looking to put in a better performance this time, especially with news of Joseph Woll (personal) beginning to ramp up activities as he starts to work his way back to game fitness.

Primeau made 26 saves in a 7-4 win over the Predators on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

It was Primeau's debut as a Leaf. It was his first NHL game since Dec. 12, 2024, when he was with the Canadiens. The Leafs claimed him off waivers from the Hurricanes on Oct. 6. Primeau will remain with the big club until Joseph Woll (personal) returns.

Primeau will be between the pipes at home versus the Predators on Tuesday, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Primeau will be making his Maple Leafs debut after being claimed off waivers by Toronto on Oct. 6. For now, the 26-year-old Primeau figures to fill the No. 2 role for Toronto but could find himself back on waivers once Joseph Woll (personal) rejoins the team. Given the uncertainty around Primeau's long-term status with the Leafs, fantasy managers will probably want to consider alternative options in the crease.
