Michael McNiven recalled to the taxi squad by the Montreal Canadiens

After the Montreal Canadiens’ game in Boston, the team recalled goaltender Michael McNiven from the Laval Rocket to the taxi squad.

Jake Allen was injured in the first period versus the Bruins, so the Habs needed a third goaltender for their current road trip.

Cayden Primeau was recalled to the active roster and will be in uniform when the team plays the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday.

Montembeault played the majority of the game on Tuesday, while McNiven was earning a win with the Rocket at the same time.
