Canadiens Team Report
(Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:36:32 PST)
Coach Guy Carbonneau is hoping that some of his injured players are back in the lineup soon and goaltender Carey Price is at the top of his list.
Price has missed the last two games with a lower body injury and backup Jaroslav Halak has struggled, losing in New Jersey before salvaging a shootout win at home against Florida Sunday. He has allowed eight goals on 57 shots for a save percentage of .860.
