Canadiens wins leader says he misses ‘playing the games’
www.nhl.comHere’s the latest I can provide with current public context.
- Carey Price has not played in the NHL since the 2021-22 season due to knee issues and related health considerations. He has remained on long-term injured reserve in various cap-management scenarios for the Canadiens, with ongoing discussions about his status and potential future moves affecting team payroll.[4][6]
- In recent years, there were reports and speculation that Price’s playing career could be over, and there have been mentions of his contract remaining a notable cap hit for Montreal, with potential moves sometimes discussed in the context of LTIR and cap flexibility.[2][3]
- As of 2026, major outlets repeatedly feature Carey Price in the context of old-career retrospectives, contract status, and occasional updates on his health and life after hockey, including status in relation to the Canadiens and any potential return scenarios.[5][8]
If you want, I can narrow to:
- Most recent official statements from Price or the Canadiens about his status, or
- The current cap implications of Price’s contract for the Canadiens or any teams that might be rumored as a landing spot, or
- A brief timeline of Price’s major career milestones and injuries.
