Goalie Price to sit out second game with flu as Canadens visit Senators
Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will sit out at least one more game with a flu.
The team says Price, who missed the Canadiens’ season-opening 4-1 win in Buffalo on Thursday, will not play on Saturday night in Ottawa.
A Tweet from the club said: “Medical update: C. Price: severe case of flu, accompanied by fever, is taking antibiotics, resting at home, evaluated daily by Dr. (David) Mulder.”
Price has not played for Montreal since he injured a knee last Nov. 25, but returned in full health to help Canada win gold at the World Cup of Hockey in September.
