But that wasn't the case last Monday night when his beloved Northeastern University Huskies were battling for the their third consecutive Beanpot title at TD Garden.
The 20-year-old Laval Rocket goaltender was on the road in Utica, NY desperately trying to find a way to tune into the championship matchup against Boston University.
Panic mode quickly set in when he realized that the NHL Network, which was broadcasting the contest across the United States, wasn't available on his hotel room TV.
"I was going to the end of the world to put it on, but I couldn't figure it out," recalled Primeau, who backstopped the Huskies to back-to-back Beanpot crowns in 2018 and 2019. "I was trying NESN. I was trying TSN. I was texting everyone trying to find a way to watch it, but I finally came across a way to get it. I ended up using a friend's account for the NESN feed on my laptop."
