Carey Price's hockey future is in doubt

As for Carey Price, his future as a goaltender is in doubt as it's expected his career is over.

Price, 36, has been dealing with a knee injury. He recently came out and said his knee is not where it needs to be for him to play hockey.

“When I do certain things on a consistent basis, it’s a very solid reminder that my knee’s not in a position to take the brunt of a full season's workload. I still get a tremendous amount of swelling in it.

"For short periods of time, I can do things that are strenuous, but the honest (truth) is right now, it’s just not going to happen. To take the stress of the goaltending position — it’s not where it needs to be,” Price told reporters on Tuesday.

Carey Price underwent surgery following the 2020-21 season when he helped lead the Montreal Canadiens to the Stanley Cup Final. Since Price has been out of the lineup, Montreal has struggled and has missed the playoffs every year since.

Price only played five games during the 2021-22 NHL season and hasn't played another game since.

Carey Price is 361-261-79 in his career with a 2.51 GAA and a .917 SV%. He is a future Hall of Famer and spent his entire 15-year career with the Montreal Canadiens.

With Price unable to play, the Canadiens have Jake Allen and Samuel Montembeault as their goaltenders. But there is no replacing Price, who is one of the best goaltenders of all time.

Carey Price's inability to play has hindered Montreal's future and forced them into a bit of a rebuild after making the Cup Final in 2021.
