Price is 4-0 with a 0.75 GAA , .963 SV% and one shutout heading into the gold medal game vs. Sweden. Canada was in the same spot four years ago with Roberto Luongo as their backstop, can Price lead them to a gold medal in 2014?
Price was not nearly as busy as Kristers Gudlevskis in Canada's 2-1 win over Latvia on Wednesday. Price stopped 15 of 16 shots while Canada fired 57 at the young Latvian netminder. On Friday Price will face an American team who have tallied 19 goals in four games (4.75 G/PG). He will look to do what Roberto Luongo did to Team USA in 2010's Gold Medal game.
Price stopped 14 of 15 shots in a 2-1 OT win over Finland on Sunday. He has not seen a lot of rubber in Sochi thus far, but he has stopped 33 of the 35 (.943 SV%) shots that he has faced. He should be able to help Canada advance to the semis on Wednesday as they get set to take on the under-manned Latvian team.
Price stopped 19 of 20 shots in a 3-1 victory over Norway in his only Olympic start thus far. He will get the call vs. Finland, which is Canada's toughest test so far. A win this morning could earn him the start in the first game of the elimination round.
As expected MIke Babcock will use both Price and Roberto Luongo in their first two contests. Price is 26-17-5 with a 2.33 GAA and .925 SV% with the Canadiens this season. In the week leading up to the Olympics, Price went 3-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA, a .971 SV% and one shutout.

Price stopped 33 of 35 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Jets on Sunday. Despite playing great in both games of the back-to-back set (1.99 GAA / .944 SV%) the Habs couldn't muster enough offence to get him a win. Tonight he will face a Flames team who have won five in a row.
Price stopped 34 of 36 shots in a 2-1 OT loss to the Lightning on Saturday. Price was excellent in defeat and will get both starts of the back-to-back set when the Habs take on the Jets this afternoon. Winnipeg has won seven of their last nine, but Price is still a good Sunday play.
After getting the night off on Thursday, the Habs will call-on Price on Saturday, the first game of back-to-back. Price is coming off of stellar 36-save shutout on Tuesday and could face the Lightning's third-string goalie tomorrow. He should make for another strong start and has a chance to play in both games of the back-to-back set.
Price was yanked after allowed four goals on 26 shots in a 5-0 loss to the Capitals. It was the second time in three starts that Price has been pulled, but that won't deter the Habs to turning to him tomorrow.

Price allowed four goals on 26 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Red Wings. He has lost three in a row while allowed 13 goals. Tonight he will face a Capitals team who appear to be getting Alex Ovechkin back tonight. That being said the Caps have had their struggles offensively recently.
Price was pulled after allowing five goals on 21 shots in a 5-1 loss to the Penguins on Wednesday.
