Carey Price Struggles in Win Over Leafs
5 years agoMontreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price had a rare poor showing on a Saturday night, allowing five goals on 37 shots. Lucky for him, he was opposed by Michael Hutchinson, who had an even worse night to help Price capture the win regardless, but the number of goals allowed has to be discouraging for the Canadiens. Albeit in just two games, Price now has a 3.69 GAA and a .900 save percentage. While his last start, stopping 40 of 43 shots was a good start to the season, Montreal can't have him allowing three or more goals on a consistent basis. The Canadiens playoff hopes rest on Price having a big season, and numbers like this will find Montreal at the bottom of the league in no time. It will be hard to justify having Price in your fantasy lineups in a salary cap league as well if he continues this pace.
