With the 2022-23 season le s than two months away, the have received bad news about the status of star goaltender . During a pre s conference on Thursday, Montreal general manager Kent Hughes said it is unlikely that Price plays at all this season.Price underwent knee surgery last summer, and he went through a lengthy rehabilitation proce s Dwight Powell Jersey that resulted in him playing just five games toward the end of the 2021-22 season. This summer, Price has continued to receive treatment on his injured knee, but it has not gone as hoped.Because of that, Hughes has a hard time seeing Price being able to play in 2022-23, ."This summer he went through the proce s of a shot to the knee seeing if that would help," Hughes said. "It did not, and at this point, we don't expect Carey to be available for the start of this season. Quite frankly, I don't know that there's a path for Carey to return this season through the rehab proce s." The Canadiens hoped that Price's knee would improve throughout the offseason, but Hughes said there have been no positive developments to this point. Because of that, Price will be placed on long-term injured reserve."I've mentioned before that we were kind of in a gray area with Carey in terms of knowing whether he'd be able to play or not, and unfortunately it's not a determination that we can make," Hughes said. "We had to let time take its course. At this point in time, the news in terms of Carey's knee is pretty discouraging in the sense that there hasn't been any improvement."Price is one of the greatest goaltenders in Canadiens history, and his lo s will be felt by the entire team. Through his 15 seasons in Montreal, Price has posted a goals against average of 2.51, a save percentage of .917, and 49 shutouts to go along with winning the Ted Lindsay, Jennings, Vezina, and Hart trophies in 2015. Without Price, the Canadiens' goaltending situation is on shaky ground heading into next season. Right now, Montreal has and on its roster, and both of them struggled last year.Allen posted a save percentage of .905 and allowed 2.57 goals above expected, . Montembeault was even worse. He stopped just 89.1% of the shots he faced Willie Cauley-Stein Jersey and allowed 17.30 goals above expected.Unle s the Canadiens dip into the free agency market or make a trade, Allen and Montembeault will have to show marked improvement in order for the team to make positive strides in net. Then again, getting below average goaltending in the 2022-23 season might help the organization's rebuilding effort with a highly-touted draft cla s expected next summer.
