Price has been great this season, winning seven of his nine starts while posting a rock solid 2.01 GAA and .936 SV%.

Price has been sidelined since October 29th, but his return to practice this morning suggests that he is nearing a return to the Habs’ crease. Mike Condon has played admirably while serving as Montreal’s No. 1, but he has struggled recently, so Price’s return will be a welcomed sight. Monitor his status as the week progresses.
Wennberg suffered a lower-body injury on Tuesday vs. the Canucks and will miss at least seven days after being placed on injured reserve today. With Wennberg out, look for Rene Bourque to play on Friday.
On Monday, Price went to New York for a second opinion on his lower-body injury, but these tests came back the same as the first tests. The good news for Price is that he will not need surgery and is only expected to miss another week. With Price still sidelined, look for Mike Condon to start on Wednesday and Saturday.
Price has missed the last five games with a lower-body injury and on Monday he was sent to New York to undergo further evaluation. The Canadiens are expected to release a full update on Price’s status on Tuesday.

Ellis took part in the Predators’ morning skate but he wasn’t sure if he would play tonight vs. the Ducks. If Ellis doesn’t end up playing, look for Victor Bartley to stay in the lineup.

Ellis suffered a knee injury while blocking a shot on the weekend and he missed both Monday’s practice and Tuesday’s morning skate. Look for Viktor Bartley to take Ellis’ spot in the lineup on Tuesday vs. Tampa Bay.
Wennberg has missed the last five games with a concussion, but it appears he will return to the lineup tonight vs. the Islanders.

Wennberg has been out since the season opener, but his return to practice on Monday is a good sign that he’ll be back in the lineup shortly. Wennberg was centring a line with Brandon Saad and Scott Hartnell, which could be a strong offensive line when Wennberg is cleared to play.
