Price recently passed Patrick Roy - who appeared in 551 games - for second on the list.
Entering Tuesday, Price had a 286-200-61 career regular-season record with a .919 save percentage after being drafted fifth overall by Montreal in 2005.
Price's eight-year, $84-million extension kicks in next season, meaning he'll continue to set the bar in Montreal for the foreseeable future.
