Price sidelined with minor lower-body injury
Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price has been sidelined with what the team is calling a minor lower-body injury.
He'll miss at least Saturday's game against the Winnipeg Jets as a result.
Earlier Friday, the team announced Price was not participating in practice the morning after allowing five goals on 26 shots in a loss to the Minnesota Wild.

Price's performance has been uncharacteristically poor this season. In 11 games, he has a 3-7-1 record and .877 save percentage.
Al Montoya will start Saturday, and the Canadiens are scheduled to play Sunday in Chicago. A goalie will be recalled to serve as backup, and may or may not remain with the team through the weekend.
Montreal then returns home for a date with Vegas on Nov. 7.
