Price will be playing his 400th game for the Canadiens and, if Montreal prevails, it will be his 200th win.

“It’s gone by quick,” said the 27-year-old Price. “It’s been a fun ride. I’ve played with a lot of good guys and on some pretty good teams and I think the numbers are a reflection of that.”

Price is in some pretty good company. He’s only the third Montreal goaltender to reach 400 games, behind Jacques Plante (556 games) and Patrick Roy (551). He’s currently fifth on the Canadiens’ list of all-time wins and he should pass Bill Durnan (208) before this season is out. Plante is the all-time team leader with 314 wins, followed by Roy (289) and Ken Dryden (258).

Coach Michel Therrien said he was impressed because “I still consider Pricer as a young goalie. He still has a lot of good years ahead of him, It’s a good milestone.
