Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price has a minor lower-body injury and will miss Saturday’s game against the Winnipeg Jets, the team announced Friday.
Backup Al Montoya will start in net and 23-year-old goaltender Charlie Lindgren was recalled from the AHL’s Laval Rocket as a preventative measure.
Price is off to a rough start this season, posting a 3-7-1 record with a 3.77 goals-against average and .877 save percentage in 11 games.
The Canadiens sit in last place in the Atlantic Division with just nine points in 13 games.
