Price passes Dryden on Canadiens' all-time wins list

A big night for the Montreal Canadiens held added significance for Carey Price.

Making 32 saves to keep the Canadiens five points ahead of the Toronto Maple Leafs in an overtime victory on Saturday night, Price moved past legend Ken Dryden on the franchise's all-time wins list with the 259th of his career.

Afterwards, Price didn't speak out about how special the achievement was, but instead about how special of a man Dryden is.

He called Dryden a "life changer," telling Dan Robertson of TSN 690:

"Ken is the first Hab I met. I was around eight. ... I met him in Williams Lake. I got his autograph on a piece of paper I still have today," he said.

"When I was going through a tough time at about 21, Ken called me and we had a good talk. I have a lot of respect for what he did in the NHL and what he's done after.

"He's a very special human being."
