Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price allowed five goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Winnipeg Jets, dropping his record on the season to 5-4-3.

Price, who has posted a save percentage above .900 just once in his past six starts, said his struggles may be mental after posting .936 save percentage during the Return to Play last summer.

Price has a .888 save percentage on the season with a 3.13 goals-against average - the worst marks of any season in his 14-year career....

Price, who carries a $10.5 million cap hit through the 2025-26 season, has started 12 games this season compared to seven for backup Jake Allen. Allen, 30, has a 4-2-1 record with a .933 save percentage and a 2.14 goals-against average.
