Price has established himself as one of the league's best young goaltenders with two strong seasons for the Canadiens (11-11-1) since he was the fifth overall selection in the 2005 draft. He began 2009-10 as Montreal's No. 1 goalie but an early-season six-game losing streak opened the door for Jaroslav Halak to get more playing time. (MORE)
