from Eric Engels of Sportsnet,

It was 10 seconds of action that made you wonder who the guy wearing No. 31 for the Montreal Canadiens was.

He didn’t bear even the slightest resemblance to Carey Price, the consensus best goaltender in the world. Granted, he looked a bit like the Price we’ve seen in the early part of this season—the guy who came into Thursday’s 6-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild with numbers unbecoming of an average goaltender, let those of a terrible one.

Before Price and the Canadiens flew to Minnesota he was asked about his .883 save percentage and his 3.64 goals against average.

“I don’t feel like statistics mean much going into any particular game,” he said. “It’s all about the way you feel and the way you prepare for each game.”
