MONTREAL - Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin announced Sunday an eight-year contract extension for goaltender Carey Price (2018-19 to 2025-26).
Price, 29, completed his 10th season with the Canadiens in the NHL in 2016-17. In 62 games, the 6'03'', 226 lbs goaltender maintained a record of 37 wins, 20 losses and five overtime/shootout losses. He recorded three shutouts with a 2.23 goals-against average. He stopped 1,656 of the 1,794 shots he faced for a .923 save percentage. Winner of the 2016-17 Molson Cup, Price was one of three finalists for the Vezina Trophy, awarded annually to the best goaltender in the NHL. The netminder took part in his fifth All-Star Game, held last January in Los Angeles.
