With the Montreal Canadiens having only 11 games left on the season the questions remains, will we see Habs Goaltender Carey Price actually play a game this season?

After having successful surgery to repair his knee back in July and then having checked himself into a substance abuse program in October, Price has had setbacks since November including Covid-like symptoms.

Habs Head Coach Martin St Louis was asked by the media about Price and a possible return after today's practice. The Habs head coach had this to say,

"I don't think so,"�St. Louis responded when asked if Price could potentially play this weekend.�"He'll let us know when he's ready."�

Price has been with the Canadiens since being drafted 5th overall in 2005. This would of been Price's 15th season in Montreal and is in the midst of an�eight-year, $84 million contract he received from former Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin who was fired mid season and replaced by new general manager Kent Hughes.

Price is 34, he's a former�Hart�Trophy winner as the NHL's Most Valuable Player during the 2014-15 season, as well as a two-time Vezina Trophy winner as the NHL's top goaltender and is the winningest goaltender in Montreal Canadiens history with a 360-247-79 record with a lifetime goals against of 2.50 and .917 save percentage.
