Price will be in goal for Game 6.

Price surrendered five goals on 25 shots in the Canadiens 5-1 loss to the Senators in Game 5. It was a surprisingly bad performance for the Vezina Trophy favourite, who has posted a 2.31 GAA and .923 SV% in the first five games of the series. Price will look to close the deal tonight instead of having to go back to Montreal for Game 7.

Price starts game 1 vs. Ottawa.

Price had an outstanding season and has the Vezina Trophy on lockdown. He led the NHL in Wins (44), GAA (1.96) and SV% (.933)…It does not get much better than that. In two starts against the Senators this season, Price went 1-1-0 with a 3.02 GAA and .887 SV%.

Price allowed three goals on 27 shots in the Canadiens OT win over the Red Wings on Thursday. Price ranks 1st in the NHL in Wins (43), GAA (1.95), SV% (.934 SV%) and shutouts (9)…So yeah, everything. Just give him the Vezina now. This will be just his fourth start in 10 days, so he will start the season finale to keep him fresh for the playoffs.

Brossoit will start his first NHL game on Thursday.

Brossoit, 22, had a tough time in a brief AHL stint last season, but came into 2014-15 much stronger. He went 22-21-4 with a 2.65 GAA and .916 SV% in 49 games with Oklahoma City, which prompted the Oilers to recall him and let him make his NHL debut in a meaningless game against the Sharks.
