It’s official! Carey Price is going to return to the Habs lineup tonight for the first time in nearly a year. No, there’s not going to be a goalie controversy in Montreal - even if he’s a little rusty. After last season, though, it’s good to know that the guy backing him up has already proven that he can answer the call when necessary.
Only three games into the Montreal Canadiens’ 2016-17 campaign, it’s already a clichéd understatement that Al Montoya has been an early season revelation for Habs fans. In Tuesday’s home opener, the Habs took advantage of a Pittsburgh Penguins squad that had lost in overtime to Colorado on Monday night.
