Canadiens bolster goaltender depth by adding Luke Cavallin to roster

With Samuel Montembeault and Cayden Primeau already in the NHL and Jakub Dobes, Connor Hughes, and Hunter Jones holding it down with the Laval Rocket in the AHL, it's clear the Habs are making sure they have plenty of options.

Cavallin, a 23-year-old, 6'1", 196-pound goaltender, spent last season with the Toronto Maple Leafs' organization, playing nine games for the Marlies, their AHL affiliate. While he's still early in his pro career, he's displayed flashes of NHL potential .

Cavallin was the starting netminder for the Flint Firebirds in the OHL for four seasons, where he put up solid numbers, including a .910 save percentage in his final season. Yet he went undrafted and had to settle for an ECHL deal with the Newfoundland Growlers. The Greenly, Ontario native seized his newfound opportunity, posting a 2.95 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage, earning recognition as one of the top goalies in the league.

It's possible there could be more moves on the horizon, especially with a surplus of talented goalies in the mix. But for now, fans can look forward to seeing what Cavallin brings to the team. He's young, he's talented, and he's ready to make his mark in the Habs organization. And if he becomes a star, it'll represent more baggage for Canadiens fans to hang over Leafs nation.
