Canadiens’ starter missed nearly all of last NHL season with knee injury
Carey Price will play his first game in 289 days when he starts Canada’s World Cup of Hockey exhibition opener on Friday against the United States.
The Montreal Canadiens goalie last played competitively on Nov. 25 when he injured his right knee against the New York Rangers. Price missed the rest of the season with what was later diagnosed as a sprained medial collateral ligament.
