Montreal Canadiens Need To Find A Reliable Backup Goaltender

Carey Price returned to form last season for the Montreal Canadiens. After posting the worst numbers of his career in 2017-18, Price came a lot closer to his lofty expectations in 2018-19. The only problem was, the 31-year-old nearly set a career high for games played as well.

HIs 35-24-6 record was extremely close to leading the Canadiens to an unexpected playoff berth. He put up a 2.49 goals against average, and a .918 save percentage to go with his four shutouts. He did this while suiting up in 66 games, second only to Minnesota Wild netminder Devan Dubnyk.
