BROSSARD - The Canadiens recalled goaltender Cayden Primeau from the AHL's Laval Rocket on Monday afternoon.

It's an emergency recall for Primeau. Carey Price was unable to accompany his teammates to New Jersey after coming down with the flu.
Primeau has a 12-7-2 record in 23 appearances with Laval this season, along with a 2.70 goals-against average and a .899 save percentage.
The former seventh-round selection (199th overall) in the 2017 NHL Draft also has three shutouts.
