Price struggled down the stretch at the end of last season but played well stopping 34 of 38 shots, albeit in a losing effort to the Maple Leafs on opening night. Toronto also beat Philadelphia on the following night; who Price will face tomorrow as the Habs look to get into the win column.
In his sixth season with the Candiens, Price went 21-13-4 with a 2.59 GAA and .905 SV%. Those numbers were his worst since 2009 and with the Olympics coming this winter, Price will try and make his case for a Team Canada roster spot early in the year. Feel free to deploy him as a solid number-1 fantasy option.
The right winger took a slash during Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Columbus and was unable to finish the game. X-rays revealed the break, coach Ron Rolston said today. It hasn't been determined whether Armia will need surgery or if the injury will heal on its own.
This is terrible news for the Canadiens who face elimination in Game 5 tonight.
Price left Game 4 just before overtime due to a lower-body injury.
Price struggled allowing six goals on 30 shots in a 6-1 blowout loss in Game 3. He was not playing well towards the end of the season and unfortunately for the Habs hit has carried over into the early part of the playoffs. He has a 3.69 GAA and .879 SV% so far, that is not going to get it done for Montreal.
Price is 1-1 with a 2.52 GAA and a .918 SV% through the first two games of the series. The series shifts to Ottawa now where he will look to steal game three and take a 2-1 lead.
Price allowed four goals on 31 shots including three goals in the third period in a 4-2, Game 1 loss to the Senators. The Canadiens will be without three key forwards tonight so Price needs to bring his 'A' Game.
Price was 17-6-4 through the first three months of the season, but April was a little different. He was 4-7-0 with a 3.49 GAA and .879 SV% down the stretch. However the playoffs are a whole new season and Price was great against the Sens this year. He went 2-0-1 with a 1.58 GAA and .944 SV% vs. Ottawa.
This will mark Price's seventh consecutive start. He has only won once in his last six starts while posting a dreadful 4.58 GAA and .847 SV%. He has a decent matchup a desperate Jets team tomorrow.
Price got shelled in his last outing (5 goals against the Caps), making it 4 blowouts in his last 5 apperances. The low-scoring Devils should be a safer opponent.
Price has won just three of his last seven starts.
The Habs have allowed 18 goals in their last 3 games. Price will look to right the ship against the high scoring Bolts.
David Savard draws into the lineup.
Savard is expected to provide depth for CBJ on D and not have any significant fantasy relevance.
This is for D Adrian Aucoin, who was hurt last night vs Avs.
Price should have an opportunity to rebound from a poor starts Saturday vs. Toronto against the Flyers. Start with confidence.
Byron has been activated from Calgary’s Injured Reserve List where he has been since suffering a hand injury in a game against Dallas on February 13th.
Price allowed three goals on 27 shots in a 3-2 loss to the Capitals on Tuesday. He will face the Maple Leafs for the fourth time this season. In the three previous meetings he is 1-2-0 with a 3.36 GAA and .870 SV%.
Price in net after his strong game vs. Boston on Sunday. Price held Washington to 1 goal their last time out on Jan 24; however, Washington is playing like a different team, now.
