With the contract extension signed with Samuel Montembeault, and with his performances, Kent Hughes would have already settled the number one goalie issue.

"The big question is not whether Montembeault is number one. He is number one. It's not about whether he can play 50, 55 games next year. He will." - Martin McGuire

Yes, the #1 goalie issue is resolved, but he must now determine if Cayden Primeau can be his #2 goalie. That is the real question hanging in the air.

Primeau's upcoming games will therefore be very important. The leaders will try to judge if he can be Montembeault's next backup, which will also resolve the Jake Allen issue at the same time.
