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.
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.

Goodrow, 22, spent the majority of last season with the Sharks, but has been in the AHL for most of this year. Goodrow had three assists in 12 games with the Sharks earlier in the year and eight goals and three assists (11 points) in 15 games with San Jose (AHL).
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 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 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.
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.
Wennberg has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury but returned to practice this afternoon. Wennberg was not given a timetable when he got hurt , but his return to practice this morning suggests that he could be back later this week.

Price has been out since November 1st, but he will finally to make his return to the crease on Friday. Price has been great this season, winning seven of his nine starts while posting a rock solid 2.01 GAA and .936 SV%. Whenever Price gets the nod, he is a strong option but he draws a fairly tough matchup vs. an Islanders team that is eighth in the NHL in scoring.
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.
