VANCOUVER — Claude Julien can’t stop a puck, but he seems to have helped turn Carey Price’s game around since taking over from Michel Therrien as Canadiens head coach on Valentine’s Day.

Since the coaching change, Price has a 5-2-0 record with a .949 save percentage. The goalie is on a four-game winning streak, during which he has allowed only four goals with a .964 save percentage. On Monday, Price was named the NHL’s third star of the week after going 3-0-0 last week with a 0.66 GAA and a .974 save percentage with one shutout.

The Canadiens will be looking to extend their winning streak to six games Tuesday night with Price back in goal against the Canucks (10 p.m., SNE, RDS, TSN Radio 690).

“I wish I could take credit for that, but I don’t know how to stop a puck,” Julien said about Price’s recent performance following Monday’s practice at the Rogers Arena. “I don’t know anything about that, so certainly not going to take any credit for his turnaround.

“If anything, the whole team has played better in front of him,” the coach added. “At the same time, they’ve felt a lot more confident because he’s found his game. Everybody has ups and downs in this game, even great goaltenders will have some tougher moments. But we all know he’s a top-notch goaltender in the world of hockey and it’s just a matter of time before he found his game again. I’m just glad he did it once I showed up because it’s helped me a lot.”

Before Julien arrived, Price had a 3-7-1 record in his previous 11 games with a .908 save percentage and had allowed four goals in three straight games. The Canadiens allowed an average of 30.5 shots in those 11 games.
