Canadiens' Price Makes Interesting Comment on Recent Struggles

Montreal Canadiens netminder Carey Price was a favorite to win the Vezina trophy before this season started as the league's top goaltender and so far he's been anything but. The Canadiens are struggling, have fired their coach and now may be turning to Price's backup Jake Allen to be handed more minutes.

Price currently sits with a 5-4-3 record, with a 3.13 goals against average and a .888 save percentage, which at this pace will be his worst season in the NHL by a country mile. 

Price recently spoke to the media and had this to say about what's going on for the 33-year-old:

Maybe I'm overthinking things. That's all I've got for you.

 

With the team currently sitting 4th in the North division, barely hanging on to a playoff spot and struggling fast, Habs fans are going to want some more answers.

Dominique Ducharme says Carey Price will get a chance to practice and work closely with Stephane Waite before starting again. Jake Allen starts tomorrow vs. WPG. Josh Anderson is day-to-day, not ruled out for tomorrow (lower body injury)
