Brossoit will start Friday in Columbus.

Brossoit stopped 32 of 33 shots in an Oilers 2-1 shootout loss to the Jets in his first NHL start this season. The 22-year-old netminder has gone 15-9-3 with a 2.69 GAA and .919 SV% in 28 games with Bakersfield (AHL) this season. He’ll make his second NHL start against a Blue Jackets team that has lost four of their last seven.

The Oilers have signed goaltender Laurent Brossoit to a two-year contract extension.

Brossoit, 22, will get a shot with the Oilers for the rest of the season after they traded Anders Nilsson to the Blues. He has gone 15-9-3 with a 2.69 GAA, .919 SV% and three shutouts with Bakersfield (AHL) this season. He gets two more years with the Oilers before becoming a restricted free agent in 2018-19.

Brossoit will make his season debut on Saturday.

Brossoit stopped 49 of 51 shots in an Oilers win in his NHL debut last April. Tonight will be his second career NHL game with Cam Talbot out with an illness. The 22-year-old netminder has gone 14-8-3 with a 2.70 GAA and .921 SV% in 26 starts with Bakersfield (AHL) this season.

Price (lower-body) will not return for 3-4 weeks.

Despite skating over the last week, Price remains at least three weeks away from returning to the Canadiens crease. This is a tough blow for a Habs team that continues to slip in the standings. With Price sidelined until mid-to-late February, Montreal will continue to roll with Mike Condon and Ben Scrivens as their goaltending tandem.

Carey Price
Price (lower-body) has skated two days in a row.

Price is not expected to return until after the All Star break, but he was on the ice for the last two days, which is a big step in him returning in early February. Price’s return would be huge for the Canadiens—he is one of the league’s top net minders and has gone 10-2-0 with a 2.06 GAA and .934 SV% this season.

Price (lower-body) is not expected to return until after the All Star Break.

Price has been sidelined since November 25th because of a lower-body injury and he was originally given a six-week timetable. Next Monday will mark six weeks, but Price has been ruled out for the remainder of January. Monitor Price’s status as the All Star game approaches.

Price (lower-body) will miss a minimum of six weeks; will not require surgery.

Price missed nine games with a lower-body injury earlier in November and aggravated the injury in his third game back. Price will miss at lest six weeks, which means he will miss the Winter Classic and will be out until mid-January. If Price misses six weeks he will miss 18 games, which means Mike Condon has big shoes to fill and will have Dustin Tokarski as his backup.

Price (lower-body) is expected to miss one week; has been placed on IR.

Price aggravated his lower-body injury on Wednesday and was placed on IR to create room to recall Dustin Tokarski. Price will miss at least seven days with the injury. Mike Condon will take over as the Habs’ No. 1.

Price aggravated his lower-body injury in Wednesday’s win over the Rangers.

Price aggravated the same lower-body injury that forced him to miss nine games earlier this month. Mike Condon played well while Price was out and the Canadiens will have to turn to him again it appears. There is no word how long Price will be out, but you have to believe the Canadiens will be extra careful with their star netminder this time around.

Carey Price
Price will start on Wednesday in New York.

Price made 21 saves on 23 shots in Sunday’s win over the Islanders. Both of his starts since returning from injury have results in wins over the Islanders, showing he is back at 100 percent. Tonight he will make his third straight start and he is expected to go head-to-head with Henrik Lundqvist. In his first start vs. the Rangers, he registered a 25-save shutout in a 3-0 win.
