The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Great Gumper's Ghost, there is an alarming lack of a GDT. The game starts in an hour! The following comes from HabsEyesonthePrize: Game 77: Montreal Canadiens @ New York Rangers Start time: 7:00 PM EDT / 4:00 PM PDT In the Canadiens region: TSN2 (English), RDS (French) In the Rangers region: MSG2 Streaming: ESPN+, RDS, TSN+ Despite Cayden Primeau having to come on in relief of Samuel Montembeault last night, Martin St-Louis is sticking with his plan to have Primeau play tonight’s game in New York City. Primeau faced 18 shots in the 30 minutes he played versus Toronto, stopping all of them, which should have helped to erase the disappointment from his outing versus the Tampa Bay Lightning a couple of days earlier. Joel Armia is also looking to put an off night behind him to have a better performance in his 500th NHL game. He does have goals in two of his previous four games versus the Rangers, and also registered a hat trick versus the franchise back in 2019, so it is a team he enjoys playing. New York, meanwhile, is trying to lock up the top spot in the Metropolitan Division, which it can do with three more wins. They probably see Montreal as one of the easy marks toward that goal, but the Habs could pull off another surprise in the final portion of the season — if they can manage to hold their composure for all 60 minutes. Montreal Canadiens projected lineup Left Wing Centre Right Wing #22 Cole Caufield #14 Nick Suzuki #20 Juraj Slafkovský #11 Brendan Gallagher #35 Alex Newhook #40 Joel Armia #70 Tanner Pearson #71 Jake Evans #17 Josh Anderson #55 Michael Pezzetta #36 Colin White #49 Rafaël Harvey-Pinard Left Defence Right Defence #8 Mike Matheson #52 Justin Barron $54 Jordan Harris #58 David Savard #47 Jayden Struble #26 Johnny Kovacevic Starter Backup #30 Cayden Primeau #35 Samuel Montembeault Injured: Kirby Dach, Christian Dvorak, Kaiden Guhle, Joshua Roy, Chris Wideman, Arber Xhekaj Scratched: Jesse Ylönen New York Rangers projected lineup Left Wing Centre Right Wing Artemiy Panarin Vincent Trocheck Alexis Lafrenière Chris Kreider Mika Zibanejad Jimmy Vesey Will Cuylle Alexander Wennberg Kaapo Kakko Barclay Goodrow Jonny Brodzinski Matt Rempe Left Defence Right Defence Ryan Lindgren Adam Fox K’Andre Miller Jacob Trouba Zac Jones Braden Schneider Starter Backup Igor Shesterkin Jonathan Quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the least-used GDT of all time? I wouldn't rule it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had lower for Laval GDT's which is why we didn't bother with those this season. Primeau played quite well despite allowing four goals. Good to see him bounce back with two good outings (the other being the second half of the Toronto game) after the rough one against Tampa Bay.
