Primeau will join the team in Edmonton for their game on Saturday.
Hammond made 30 saves in Montreal’s 5-4 overtime win in Calgary. He is 3-0 in three starts with the Canadiens since being acquired from the Minnesota Wild.
The Laval Rocket are now left in a tough spot heading into their games Friday and Saturday at home against the Abbotsford Canucks. The team recently traded Michael McNiven to the Calgary Flames, who was assigned to their AHL team in Stockton.
Laval announced they have signed Tristan Berube to a professional tryout contract to serve as their second goaltender. The University of Ottawa goaltender had a 4-3-2 record with a 3.58 goals against average and .894 save percentage with the Trois-Rivières Lions this season.
