Canadiens fans can breathe a sigh of relief regarding Carey Price's status

Montreal Canadiens fans have a little less to worry about on Thursday morning after several days of concern for Carey Price's status.

Prior to Sunday's game against the Boston Bruins, the Canadiens called up goaltender Cayden Primeau, which caused a bit of panic amongst the fans as it was revealed that Price was 'day-to-day'.

The 34-year-old did not dress on Sunday, and earlier this week, the Canadiens announced that Price would travel with the team to New York, but would be meeting with the doctor that performed his knee surgery last summer.

Flash forward to Thursday morning and the Canadiens have announced that they've assigned Cayden Primeau to the Laval Rocket of the AHL. This move likely means that Price is good to go for Friday's season finale against the Florida Panthers. Whether he'll be the starter or backup, that remains to be seen.

Since returning to the Canadiens' lineup earlier this month, Price has gone 0-4-0 with 4.04 GAA and an .853 save percentage.
