Paying The Price: Carey’s three-year battle to claim the role of starter

With his 315th regular season win in the books, Carey Price is now in sole possession of the franchise record for most wins by a Montreal Canadiens goaltender. He passed the legendary Jacques Plante to claim the prestigious title, and it doesn’t look like he will be stopping anytime soon, given that he has just begun his brand new eight-year contract. When all is said and done, Price will not only have shattered the franchise record, it is quite possible that he will be listed among the best in NHL history.

Eyes On The Prize published a series of articles entitled Road to 315, looking at important milestones Price achieved in his journey to achieving these wins, from his stiff competition against Jaroslav Halak, to the moments where he passed Jose Theodore, Patrick Roy, Ken Dryden, and finally Plante for the wins title.
