Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price, sidelined since the end of last season's Stanley Cup Final, will make his long-awaited return to the lineup Friday against the New York Islanders, coach Martin St. Louis confirmed.
, the star Montreal Canadiens goaltender sidelined since the end of last season's Stanley Cup Final while working through several setbacks, will make his long-awaited return to the lineup on Friday against the New York Islanders, coach Martin St. Louis said.
During the Canadiens' morning skate, Price could be seen participating in what is normally the starter's routine, preempting the confirmation that he would be making his season debut in front of the Bell Centre faithful. Price last played on July 7, in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, and his prolonged absence from the team started just weeks after the series ended. At first, it was due to off-season knee surgery, but it later extended to the beginning of the current season when he left for treatment for what he called long-standing issues with substance abuse.
Price briefly skated in late 2021, but then had to take a step back in his recovery, returning to only off-ice work until March, when his on-ice work resumed. He has since participated in a handful of Canadiens practices, though was forced into another pause by a non-COVID-related illness.
