Price, 34, returned to the Canadiens lineup on April 15 after missing most of the 2021-22 season with a knee injury.

Earlier on Sunday, St. Louis explained that Price played in a lot of games last week and is being given a break with the intention to be ready for Friday's season finale against the Florida Panthers.
