(last year he had 2.35 .921% for the season, 430Wins 2.49 .919% for career). Hopefully Price plays as long and well as this guy has and gets 200+more wins.

Montreal continues their disappointing Western swing with Carey Price all but guaranteeing he will play a game before the season is over and won't play the IIHF hockey championship due to a baby being born around April. Yay to Price returning! Boo to no playoffs. The Canadiens were trounced by the Kings 3-0 in December with only 17 stops by Condon. Quick made 45 for the shutout, back when the Habs took a lot of weak shots and everyone thought some were going to go in eventually. Kris Versteeg makes his debut for the Kings. Scrivens will be in net. Will update lines when reported.
