Later in the game, a deflected shot hit Price in the collarbone.

He possesses a .901 save percentage and a 2.64 goals-allowed average.<\/p>\n<p>Price has spent the entirety of his 14-year NHL career goaltending for the Canadiens. In 707 career games, he has a 360-257-79 record. Price won the Vezina, Hart, William M.

Price&#8217;s injury couldn&#8217;t come at a worse time. As the season winds down, the Canadiens, who are fourth in their division, will need every ounce of help they can get. While Allen is an amicable goaltender in his own right, he doesn&#8217;t have the ability to shoulder the burden Price handles on a frequent basis. Depending on how quickly Price recovers, this injury could be sink or swim for the Canadiens&#8217; season.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"yYe5X-R8Rg1QApDQzzonBA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1232410098\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'yYe5X-R8Rg1QApDQzzonBA',sig:'7dgGyrfljyisc_qQEY_fKbIJWS2VL3PaQVcHnLBpnR8=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1232410098',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Montreal Canadiens announced that goaltender Carey Price will be sidelined for at least a week with an undisclosed injury.
