Each week we take an in-depth look at young members of the organization while providing an overview of Habs prospects playing at the junior (OHL, WHL), collegiate (USHL, NCAA), and professional (ECHL) level.

While Ryan Poehling is out playing against the top junior players in the world and Jake Evans is coming back from Davos after winning the Spengler Cup with Team Canada, the NCAA season continues its course.

Cayden Primeau is moving into the spotlight in quick fashion with the Northeastern Huskies. His stats, a .927 save percentage and 1.89 goals-against average, make him the top freshman goalie in the league and puts him above the majority of netminders, notably all three goalies who were selected for USA’s World Juniors team.
