Price (knee) is expected to miss the entirety of Montreal's training camp.

EDGE Analysis

Price was originally expected to be ready for Opening Night after undergoing knee surgery in late July, and that still may be the case, but the fact that he's set to miss the entirety of training camp suggests there's a good chance he may be forced to miss some regular-season action, too. Either way, the Canadiens will likely elect to put an emphasis on managing Price's workload throughout the campaign, so expect backup Jake Allen to get plenty of work. Check back for updates on Price's status as we approach Montreal's Oct. 13 Opening Night matchup with the Maple Leafs.

Price underwent successful knee surgery Friday and is expected to be ready for the start of the 2021-22 season.

EDGE Analysis

Price's knee issue may have been part of the reason the Kraken elected not to take him in the Expansion Draft, but it appears he'll be ready to go on Opening Night next season. The veteran netminder was tremendous in the playoffs, leading Montreal to the Stanley Cup Final with a 2.28 GAA and a .924 save percentage in 22 appearances. He'll look to build on that momentum next season and improve on the lackluster .901 save percentage and 2.64 GAA he posted during 2020-21. Price is expected to face a 10-12 week recovery.

Price (knee) is expected to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks, though that timeline remains uncertain according to general manager Marc Bergevin, Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Based on that timeline, Price could be ready in time for the start of preseason action, which would be a significant boost for the Habs and fantasy players alike. The 33-year-old veteran logged just 25 regular-season contests this year in which he posted a 12-7-5 record and 2.64 GAA and one shutout. In the postseason, the netminder produced significantly better numbers as he went 13-9 with a 2.28 GAA in 22 games on his way to the Stanley Cup Final.

Price (knee) will not be selected by Seattle in Wednesday night's Expansion Draft, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was speculation that Price would be selected by the Kraken primarily due to his immense marketability, but the veteran netminder's questionable health and massive $10.5 million annual salary evidently were enough to make the NHL's latest expansion franchise steer clear. Price is set to visit a specialist in New York this week regarding knee and hip injuries, so his outlook for the 2021-22 campaign should become clearer in the coming days.

Price will visit a doctor in New York this week regarding knee and hip issues, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Price waived the no-movement clause in his contract recently and is available to the Kraken in Wednesday's Expansion Draft as a result. While there's hope that his injuries aren't serious, the knee issue could reportedly lead to surgery. The 33-year-old netminder will be an appealing player for Seattle to consider Wednesday after he helped lead Montreal to the Stanley Cup Final this year, but his health could be a concern heading into the draft.

Price allowed one goal on 30 shots in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Lightning in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

After a puck battle, Ryan McDonagh sent a pass for David Savard, who set up Ross Colton for a tap-in at the front of the net. Price didn't allow another goal, but his teammates were unable to find an equalize as the Canadiens came up three games short of the Stanley Cup. For his part, Price was excellent in the playoffs. He had a 13-9 record with a .924 save percentage in 22 contests.

Price will defend the blue paint for Game 5 versus the Lighting on the road Wednesday, John Lu of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Price is coming off a stellar Game 4 performance in which he posted a .941 save percentage and 1.90 GAA while facing 34 shots. In the postseason, Price is 4-0 when facing elimination but will have to make that record 7-0 in order to deprive the Lightning of back-to-back championships. If the veteran netminder manages to pull that off, he should be a lock for the Conn Smythe.

Price was fantastic in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals against Tampa Bay on Monday, turning aside 32 of 34 shots in a 3-2 overtime victory.

EDGE Analysis

Price was especially solid at the end of the third period and the start of overtime, standing firm in the face of a four-minute Tampa Bay power play. With the victory -- his 13th of the postseason -- Price and the Canadiens will now travel to Tampa Bay to face elimination again in Game 5 on Wednesday.

Price allowed five goals on 29 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning in Game 3. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

EDGE Analysis

Price has now yielded 13 goals in three games, which has the Canadiens staring down a 3-0 deficit in the series. The 33-year-old didn't have the best rebound control Friday, as two of the goals saw him only get a piece of the shot. Price is still likely to start Monday's Game 4, but the Lightning have to be heavy favorites in that contest, which makes Price a risky fantasy option.

Price will be between the pipes for Game 3's home clash with Tampa Bay, John Lu of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Entering the Stanley Cup Finals, Price was sporting a 2.02 GAA and.934 save percentage but has struggled against the Lightning, posting a 4.06 GAA and subpar .840 save percentage through the first two games. It will likely take a superhuman performance from Price, starting with Game 3, to turn the tide of the series and stop Tampa Bay from repeating as champions.
