The Montreal Canadiens being engaged on the waiver wire Monday afternoon was a surprise despite the need for some kind of shake up on the roster. Keith Kinkaid‘s 1-1-3 record, along with his .875 save percentage, wasn’t getting it done, and in an attempt to help him regain his confidence, the team chose to send him down. In his place, we now know that Cayden Primeau will be backing Carey Price up as the Habs prepare for a three-game week.
Kinkaid hasn’t been in the AHL since the 2014-15 season when he was part of the New Jersey Devils organization.
