Will Carey Price play this season? We might have some clues on Friday.
Posted at 11:41 a.m.
Because it is during the day on Friday that the management of the Canadian will offer (another) update on the condition of its star goalkeeper, who has still not played this season.
Price is trying these days to get back in shape in the gym, he who is currently unable to train on the ice because of this knee injury which is slow to heal.
In the immediate future, Martin St-Louis does not worry too much about this question.
“I haven’t even thought about that so far,” commented the coach Wednesday morning in Brossard. When they tell me he’s back, he’ll be there, and we’ll continue what we’re doing. »
Behind the scenes, rumors have it that Price hasn’t given up on this season, but time is obviously running out; he has already failed two attempts to return to the game since October.
In the meantime, Samuel Montembeault will be in goal Wednesday night at the Bell Center against the Buffalo Sabers.
The Canadian will try to collect a fourth victory in a row, which has obviously never happened this season.
Several players, including Laurent Dauphin, believe that the arrival of St-Louis behind the bench has changed things. For the best.
“With the old management, I didn’t really have the chance to play,” explained the Quebec player. But since that time, it’s like a new start for me… We made some changes in terms of our game system, we play with more speed. Martin is a good motivator and that’s good for us. »
The management of the Canadian has also indicated that the injured Joel Armia, Jonathan Drouin and Joel Edmundson are all getting better. As for Mathieu Perreault and Christian Dvorak, they continue to be assessed day by day.
