Price says he feels 100 percent healthy
Fear not, Montreal Canadiens fans, Carey Price says he's good to go.
After a knee injury derailed his, and ultimately Montreal's season, the reigning Hart and Vezina Trophy winner revealed he's fully healthy.
"I'm at 100 percent," Price told TSN's Gino Reda Tuesday. "I've been working pretty hard since I've been injured."
Price's road to recovery has been a long one, only appearing in 12 games last season after a sparkling campaign the year prior.
However, before he suits up for the Habs again, Price will compete for the starting job for Canada at the World Cup of Hockey, which begins in September.
Price has previously anchored Canada to World Junior and Olympic gold in his career, and is looking forward to another opportunity to represent his country.
"I'm sure it's going to be a great experience," Price said. "Having played for Team Canada on several occasions, I know it's always fun to get together with your fellow countrymen and guys you don't get to play with on a regular basis. I'm sure it's going to be a fun tournament."
Team Canada's training camp opens September 4 in Ottawa.
