Meet the Canadiens

Goaltenders

Montreal Canadiens Rostered Goalies

Carey Price - 33 Years Old
2020/21 Stats: 62 GP 18-37 3.43 GAA .904 SV%
Cap Hit: $10,500,000
Acquired: Drafted 1st round 5th Overall (Tri-City, WHL) by Montreal in 2005.
Comment: Price is the longest serving Hab and is still beloved by the masses in Montreal. His stats have suffered over the last few seasons but a lot of that is due to the fact that the teams in front of him haven't been good at all. He is under contract for 5 more years and isn't likely to go anywhere. He is all over the record books for the Canadiens and I'm hoping that he can break a few more in the next few seasons.

Charlie Lindgren - 27 Years Old
2020/21 Stats: 26 GP 7-13-1 2.84 GAA .928 SV%
Cap Hit: $890,000
Acquired: Signed by Montreal as an undrafted free agent in 2006.
Comment: Lindgren is a capable backup. He is going to see some pressure from some of the younger Canadiens goalie prospects in Laval and still in Junior.

Laval Rocket Goalies

Cayden Primeau - 21 Years Old
2020/21 Stats: 38 GP 17-16-2 3.02 GAA .910 SV% (Laval)
Cap Hit: $0
Acquired: Drafted by Montreal in the 7th round 199th Overall in 2017 (North Eastern University).
Comment: Primeau is the goalie of the future in Montreal. He will likely push for the backup job this season and could eventually un-seat Price as the starting goalie. He is still just 21 years old so having him getting starter minutes in Laval might be better than getting into just 20 games in Montreal.

Tyler Wall - 23 Years Old
2020/21 Stats: 42 GP 20-19 2.98 GAA .911 SV% (Laval)
Cap Hit: $0
Acquired: Drafted by the New York Rangers in the 6th round 174th overall in 2016 (U Mass Lowell). Signed by the Canadiens in 2019/20.
Comment: Wall and Primeau split duties in Laval this past season and he also put up decent numbers. Wall probably isn't going to be a regular at the NHL level but there is still time for him to work his way into a capable backup. At any rate he is slated to be once again split time with Primeau in Laval.

Prospects

Maxim Motorygin - 18 Years Old
2020/21 Stats: 43 GP 28-11 2.17 GAA .931 SV% (MHK Dynamo Moscow)
Cap Hit: $0
Acquired: Drafted by Montreal in the 3rd round 83rd ovearall (MHK Dynamo Moscow) in 2021.
Comment: Motorygin is a 6'0" goalie hailing from Russia who has put up some good numbers in Russia's top league. He served as the backup on the Russian U20 team at this past years World Junior Championships, but he didn't get into any games. My scouts really like him and we are hoping to bring him over to North American after his contract in the KHL expires at the end of this season. He should at a minimum be a good backup at the NHL level.

Semyon Sharabarain - 18 Years Old
2020/21 Stats: 34 GP24-10 2.14 GAA .929 SV% (MHK Novomoskovsk JR)
Cap Hit: $0
Acquired: Drafted by Montreal in the 6th round 158th ovearall (MHK Novomoskovsk JR) in 2020.
Comment: Sharabarain is another 5'11" Russian born goalie who the Canadiens drafted in the 2020 Entry Draft. He had some good numbers in the Russian Jr leagues. He should make the jump to the KHL this season and my scouts will be watching him closely to see how he does against much older competition. He is reluctant to move over to North America right now and would prefer to stay in Russia. Right now he scouts as a potential backup at the NHL level but we may never see him if he decides to stay in the KHL.
