Canadiens probably won't have Carey Price (flu) Thursday, status for Friday unknown
Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price (flu) isn't expected to be available for Thursday's season opener versus the Buffalo Sabres.
Montreal faces the Ottawa Senators on Saturday, but Price will only make the trip if he's healthy, putting his status in doubt for the second game of the season as well.
Our models project Price for a league-high .930 save percentage and a 2.16 goals against average this season, as well as a 21-10-6 record.
