Price reportedly had his best day of practice since returning from the Olympics with a lower-body injury. Price practice for over 90 minutes, but coach Michel Therrien would not divulge Saturday's starter. Monitor his status during tomorrow's morning skate.
Price continues to work his way back from a lower-body injury that has cost him the last eight games. The Habs are struggling without their number-1 netminder and need him back in a big way. Price could be back between the pipes on Saturday, but we await an official word from the team.
Price will miss his seventh straight game with a lower-body injury he sustained in the Olympics. He took part in his first full practice today, so he is definitely nearing a return. His next chance to return is Saturday vs. the Senators.
Price has been skating on his own recently, but he has joined Peter Budaj, Dustin Tokarski and the rest of the Habs on the ice Tuesday morning. Price did not take shots in the first part of practice, but started to towards the end. Price is questionable for Wednesday, but this is still a great sign for the Canadiens and Price owners.
Montreal does not play until Wednesday, so Price has time to get back to 100 per cent over the next few days and start against the Bruins. Monitor his status as the week progresses.
Price's absence from the morning skate is not good news for the Canadiens. When they acquired Devan Dubnyk at the trade deadline, it raised questions as to how serious Price's injury is. No practice today suggests that Price will miss his seventh straight game with the lower-body injury.
Price says his condition flared up during second Team Canada practice. Played the whole Olympics in "manageable" discomfort. Consider Price questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Coyotes.
Price will miss his fifth straight game on Wednesday, but the fact that he is getting on the ice after his teammates today is a good sign in his recovery. He was placed on IR on Monday, but it was retroactive to Feb 27, which means he can return anytime after Thursday.
The move allows the Canadiens room to make a potential addition before Wednesday's trade deadline. It does not necessairly mean that Price's injury is any more serious than originally thought. His placement on IR gives Montreal flexibility. Monitor Price's status leading up to Wednesday's game in Montreal.

Price is 4-0 with a 0.75 GAA , .963 SV% and one shutout heading into the gold medal game vs. Sweden. Canada was in the same spot four years ago with Roberto Luongo as their backstop, can Price lead them to a gold medal in 2014?
Price was not nearly as busy as Kristers Gudlevskis in Canada's 2-1 win over Latvia on Wednesday. Price stopped 15 of 16 shots while Canada fired 57 at the young Latvian netminder. On Friday Price will face an American team who have tallied 19 goals in four games (4.75 G/PG). He will look to do what Roberto Luongo did to Team USA in 2010's Gold Medal game.
Price stopped 14 of 15 shots in a 2-1 OT win over Finland on Sunday. He has not seen a lot of rubber in Sochi thus far, but he has stopped 33 of the 35 (.943 SV%) shots that he has faced.
