It has not been an easy year for Carey Price in Montreal. He’s had various injuries, including a scary concussion after taking a shot to the mask. Even when he’s been healthy, he hasn’t performed up to the level he knows he’s capable of. Part of that is due to one of the league’s worst penalty kills, and another chunk of it due missing a number of star players, but at the end of the day, it’s been a season to forget for Price.
He’ll pass Jacques Plante for the most games played in Montreal Canadiens history by the end of this season, and it’s been a long ride for Price since he walked onto that draft stage in 2005.
