Montreal Canadiens News

Price stopped 31 of 32 shots in the Canadiens’ win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. It didn’t take Price long to get back into the win column after losing his previous start to Florida. He is simply the best goalie in the NHL and is a must-start against a Senators team that ranks 29th in the NHL with just 2.06 goals per game.

Dvorak has bounced around from the NHL and AHL so far this season, but has yet to appear in a game with Tucson (AHL). In 12 games with the Coyotes, he has one goal and four assists (five points) and will draw back onto the second line tonight with Brad Richardson (leg) out indefinitely.

Price allowed four goals on 24 shots in the Canadiens’ loss to the Panthers on Thursday. Yes, you read that right, he actually lost. Price will look to bounce-back against the Maple Leafs, who rank fourth in the NHL in scoring (3.29 G/PG). Price was excellent in his first start vs. Toronto and is 9-0-1 with a 1.59 GAA and .951 SV% in 10 starts on home-ice.

Price stopped all 25 shots that he faced in the Canadiens’ shutout win over the Red Wings on Saturday. Al Montoya started in Chicago on Sunday, so Price will go tonight vs. the Panthers. Price is now 10-0-0 with a 1.40 GAA, .957 SV% and two shutouts. This is getting ridiculous, he may never lose…Nine of his starts have come on home ice, where he has a 1.34 GAA and .960 SV%.

Price stopped 23 of 24 shots in the Canadiens’ win over the Kings on Thursday. Price has not lost a start this season, wining nine straight games with a 1.56 GAA and .953 SV%—both rank in the top-3 in the NHL right now. The only goalie with a better GAA and SV% than Price is Jimmy Howard, who he will go head-to-head with tonight in Montreal.

Price allowed two goals on 43 shots in the Canadiens’ win over the Bruins on Tuesday. Price has won all eight of his starts while posting a 1.63 GAA and .953 SV% to kick off 2016-17. Price is the clear No.1 fantasy netminder and is a must-start regardless of his matchup—Los Angeles is 17th in the league in scoring (2.62 G/PG).

Armia is set to miss is third straight game on Tuesday and is expected to be out for an extended period of time, so the Jets moved him to IR to create a roster spot to activate Tyler Myers from IR and added Jacob Trouba to the active roster after signing him on Monday.

Price allowed four goals on 38 shots in the Canadiens’ win over the Flyers on Saturday. Price has won all seven of his starts to start 2016-17, while posting 1.57 GAA, .952 SV% and one shutout. Tonight he will take on a Boston team that he has dominated in his career—he stopped 19 of 21 shots in a 4-2 win over the Bruins in his second start of the year (Oct. 22).

Armia left Thursday’s game after playing 13:21 and did not return. There is no word whether or not Armia will be in the lineup on Friday—head coach Paul Maurice will not address the media until around 5 p.m. ET—Armia’s status will not be known until then.

Dvorak was sent down to Tucson, but never appeared in a game. He has been recalled and will be in the lineup on Thursday because Martin Hanzal is nursing a lower-body injury. He has three assists in seven games.

Price stopped all 42 shots in the Canadiens’ shutout win over the Canucks on Wednesday. Price has been absolutely outstanding so far this season. He has won all six of his starts while posting a ridiculous 1.17 GAA, .964 SV% and one shutout. He is a must-start, even against a Flyers team that is fourth in scoring (3.42 G/PG).

Price stopped 37 of 38 shots in the Canadiens’ win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday. Price has won each of his first five starts in 2016-17, while posting a 1.40 GAA and .954 SV%. Price is simply amazing and it helps to have the NHL’s fourth ranked offence in front of you (3.44 G/PG). Price is an obvious must-start tonight vs. NHL’s worst offence (1.78 G/PG).

Dvorak, 20, appeared in seven of the first eight games of the season, collecting three assists while averaging 13:45 TOI. With Dvorak heading back to the AHL, Dylan Strome is expected to play a much bigger role for the Coyotes.

Matheson has four points (2G / 2A) and 19 shots on goal in seven games this season, but will be a healthy scratch on Saturday in Buffalo. This might just be a move to get the young defenseman some rest, especially with the Panthers back in action again tomorrow. He’ll be replaced by Steve Kampfer.

Price made 30 saves on 31 shots in the Canadiens’ win over the Lightning on Thursday. Price has won each of his four starts to kick-off the season while posting a 1.51 GAA ad .947 SV%. Price has been doing Price things and tonight he will get his first look at the youthful Leafs. Toronto is scoring a lot, but you aren’t taking Price out of your lineup.

Price stopped 31 of 32 shots in the Canadiens’ win over the Flyers on Monday. Al Montoya started last night, so Price will go tonight vs. the Lightning. He has won each of his first three starts while posting an impressive 1.67 GAA and .939 SV%.

Price stopped 27 of 29 shots in the Canadiens’ win over the Coyotes on Thursday. It was a very Price-like debut for the Habs’ netminder, who starts again tonight in Boston. Price is an outstanding 22-8-3 with a 2.37 GAA and .923 SV% vs. the Bruins in his career. He is a must-start regardless of matchup, but he seems to have the Bruins' number.
