Injury: Torn Meniscus

Injured Reserve Date: September 20th, 2021

Return Timetable: Indefinite

No one has any idea what’s going on with Carey Price’s knee. In fact, many people within the organization probably thinks Price himself has no idea what’s going on either.

Price has had lingering knee and hip issues for a few seasons now and although he came back in full force lat the end of last season, being a key player in the Habs’ run to the Stanley Cup Finals, Price has re-aggravated his injury and has not played a single game this season as of yet. He also entered and completed a rehabilitation program sponsored by the NHL for substance abuse in which the details have remained private.

Price has started on-ice rehabilitation a few weeks ago but then suddenly stopped without any word. Don’t be shocked if the Canadiens eventually announce that Price won’t be playing at all this season.

Carey Price has 4 years left on his contract after this season with a $10.5 million cap hit and a full no trade and movement clause.
