Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price says he is staying off the ice for a little while longer as he deals with a lower-body injury. Price met with reporters Tuesday before Montreal's game against the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets to provide an update on his recovery. Price insisted the injury is minor and that he would "absolutely" be ready to play if the Canadiens were in the playoffs. "It's just taking a little bit longer than expected because of the nature of my position," said the all-star goaltender. Price said he can take the time to properly heal thanks to the excellent play of Charlie Lindgren.
