Status report
Primeau will start for the Canadiens after making 18 saves in relief of Montembeault in a 4-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. … Roslovic, a forward, will be a healthy scratch for the first time in 16 games since the Rangers acquired him in a trade from the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 8. He had been playing on the top line, but Vesey will move up from the fourth line to skate with Kreider and Zibanejad. … Rempe, a healthy scratch in the a 4-3 win against the Detroit Red Wings on Friday, will be back in the lineup on the fourth line. … Jones will replace Gustafsson after being a healthy scratch for the past two games.
