For the first time in more than a week, there was a Carey Price
sighting but the injured goaltender wasnt spotted anywhere near the team
practice facility in Brossard.Price, who is on the injured reserve list with a
lower-body injury, flew to New York Monday morning along with his father Jerry
who is in town to participate in the annual family trip that will see the dads
accompany their sons to Pittsburgh for Wednesday game against the Penguins .The
Canadiens had no comment on Price trip other than to say that he was out of the
country seeking a medical evaluation and that he was expected to return later in
the day. There was no indication whether Price was acting on the advice of the
Canadiens medical staff or seeking a second opinion.Coach Michel Therrien is
expected to provide an update on Price health prior to the team departure
Tuesday, but it unlikely that Price will play in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh
Penguins Custom Jersey.Therrien said last week that Price wont play unless
he 100-per-cent healthy and the Canadiens are no hurry to rush him back because
Mike Condon has been exceptional in the backup role.The 25-year-old rookie is
3-0-1 since Price went on the injured reserve list and is 6-0-1 on the season
with an NHL-best 1.57 goals-against average. Condon was 2-0-1 last week with a
1.66 GAA and a .934 save percentage. That earned him the NHL third star of the
week behind two snipers

Chicago Patrick Kane and Tyler Seguin of Dallas.It a nice personal honour, but
it doesnt mean much in the grand scheme of things, said Condon.Canadiens rookie
Mike Condon, stopping an Islanders shot in Montreal on Nov. 5, 2015.Condon has
made five consecutive starts, which would have seemed unlikely when he came out
of training camp in the No. 2 spot.You always have to be ready when the
opportunity comes your way, said Condon. Crazy things happen in hockey. I
prepare myself for the next opportunity. That all you can do.In this case, the
next opportunity means facing a Pittsburgh lineup with offensive stars Sidney
Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Phil Kessel and Kris Letang.Im excited, said Condon. You
want to play against the best players. Playing against world-class players like
that is a good measuring stick.As for the prospects of his temporary No. 1 stint
lasting longer than expected, Condon said It a possibility, but you dont want to
get ahead of yourself. I try not to think about all the variables and it good to
get away from the rink.Condon, who earned a political science degree from
Princeton, said being a student-athlete taught him to balance two things at once
but it easier now to concentrate on hockey
Evgeni
Malkin Jersey.Condon, who grew up in the Boston suburb of Needham, said he
heard from a lot of people back home after beating the Bruins Saturday night.
His father watched that game on TV, but Condon père flew into Montreal Monday
morning and will watch his son play in the NHL live for the first time in
Pittsburgh.Nathan Beaulieu received some good news when the NHL said it didnt
plan any supplemental discipline for the defenceman cross-check on Zac Rinaldo
Saturday night.Beaulieu said he was simply trying to defend himself and he said
he appreciated Therrien defence of his actions after the game.We have a pretty
tight group and we stand up for each other, said Beaulieu.Alex Galchenyuk,
Andrei Markov and Max Pacioretty skipped practice Monday for what the team
described as therapy days.
