Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price moved into second place on the franchise's all-time games played list by a goaltender, surpassing the legendary Patrick Roy with his 552nd appearance Tuesday against the Philadelphia Flyers, per NHL Public Relations.
Price should sit at the top of this list within a couple of weeks, as he is now just five appearances shy of passing another Habs legend, Jacques Plante.
As far as wins go, Price will have to wait until at least next season to record the most in team history, though he isn't that far off.

Price is signed through the 2025-26 season, so barring a surprise retirement or trade, he has plenty of time to reach the top of the team's leaderboard in a variety of goaltending categories.

Fehr played only four games with the Leafs this season and appeared in just one with Toronto in 2016-17 after being traded by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the deal for defenseman Frank Corrado last March.
San Jose was looking for a fourth-line center before making the deal, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
Fehr notched 17 goals and 28 points in 34 games this season with the San Diego Gulls, the AHL affiliate of the Anaheim Ducks. The Leafs loaned him to the organization back in November.
It was a cost-cutting move for Toronto, which reduced its long-term injured-reserve spending by $975,000, while increasing its accessible salary pool cap space to nearly $6.5 million ahead of the trade deadline, according to CapFriendly.
It also freed up a contract slot for the Leafs, who now stand at 48, two under the limit.
Fehr scored three goals for the Penguins during their 23-game run to the Stanley Cup championship in 2016.
The men's hockey tournament at PyeongChang 2018 has reached the quarter-final stage, and with that in mind, we rank the top eight remaining players to keep an eye on as the games become much more meaningful.
8. Viktor Fasth - Sweden
The top-seeded Swedes have had the luxury of impeccable goaltending thus far, as former Anaheim Ducks and Edmonton Oilers goaltender Viktor Fasth has surrendered just one goal in two starts, equaling a .972 save percentage.
7. Linus Omark - Sweden
A once-promising NHL prospect who entered the league to a ton of fanfare due to his flashy shooutout moves, Omark is having himself a strong tournament for the Tre Kronor. Omark leads the Swedes in points with five assists in three games.
6. Derek Roy - Canada
The catalyst for most of Canada's offense, Roy's notched five assists in three contests as the team's top center. He also leads all Canadian forwards in ice time, logging 19:29 per game.
5. Kirill Kaprizov - OAR
Playing on a team stacked with talent up front, Kaprizov has already had a strong offensive showing at PyeongChang 2018. He sits tied for the tournament lead in goals with Ryan Donato and teammate Ilya Kovalchuk at four. Don't be shocked if the Minnesota Wild's fifth-round pick is playing in North America, sooner rather than later.
4. Ryan Donato - USA
The NCAA's most dangerous goal-scorer has continued his run of dominance in South Korea, netting four goals and one assist for the United States so far. His tallies are tied for the tournament lead, and his opening goal versus Slovakia in a must-win game injected life into a team struggling to find any answers.
3. Sami Lepisto - Finland
A staple on blue lines throughout the KHL since leaving the Chicago Blackhawks in 2012, Lepisto has been rock-solid for the Finns this tournament. Logging 21:49 in ice time per game, no one has been on the ice more for Finland at PyeongChang 2018. The former Washington Capitals third-round selection has also chipped in offensively, notching two goals and three assists.
2. Ilya Kovalchuk - OAR
If Kovalchuk is using this tournament as a showcase for a potential return to the NHL, he's started with a bang. The Russian sniper put forth a dominant two-goal performance in a win over Team USA, and ranks third in the tournament with five points in three games.
1. Eeli Tolvanen - Finland
Tolvanen has been nothing short of sensation so far for the Finns, pacing the tournament with nine points (three goals and six assists) in four games. Speed, a strong shot, and slick hands, Tolvanen already can do it all at only 18 years old. The Nashville Predators' 2017 first-round selection is making a strong case to be playing NHL hockey in the near future.

Just when it seemed things couldn't get worse for the nosediving Buffalo Sabres, the team announced Tuesday defenseman Jake McCabe will undergo shoulder surgery and miss the next four-to-six months.
McCabe was placed on injured reserve Feb. 11 after undergoing surgery to repair a thumb injury suffered while blocking a shot, but his most recent ailment is of the shoulder variety.
In 53 games this season, he registered three goals and nine assists in 19:30 of ice time per night.
Hockey fans in the Northwest will soon be able to secure a chance to witness an inaugural season in Seattle.
The group leading the charge to bring an expansion franchise to the city will begin taking deposits on season tickets March 1, Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan announced Tuesday.
After receiving approval from the NHL Board of Governors in December, the Oak View Group, who spearheaded plans to redevelop KeyArena, officially submitted an expansion bid that included a $10-million down payment earlier this month.
Despite rumors swirling in the nation's capital surrounding Karlsson and a potential blockbuster move out of town, TSN's Darren Dreger is reporting the chances of EK being dealt ahead of the deadline are low.
Karlsson stirred the pot earlier in the season when he stated he would not be taking any "hometown" discounts during his upcoming contract negotiations, and he would get paid what he was worth, regardless of the team.
Senators general manager Pierre Dorion stated last month that he would listen to offers for Karlsson despite not planning to move him, but the latest reports seem to indicate that a deadline move is becoming increasingly unlikely. If Karlsson were to be dealt, it would be more likely to take place in the offseason, according to Dreger.
Karlsson took some time to regain his Norris-level play following offseason ankle surgery, but has been rounding into his all-world form over the past 10 games with nine points in over 26 minutes per night.
In the midst of a career season, Taylor Hall finds himself in an unfamiliar spot: competing for the playoffs.
To the surprise of many, Hall's New Jersey Devils started the season red-hot, and have carried the momentum into the stretch run. They currently sit in the East's first wild-card spot with 70 points - six clear of their nearest chaser.
The pursuit of a postseason berth is a new feeling for Hall. He spent his first six seasons with the Edmonton Oilers, who couldn't eclipse the 74-point mark during that span. Suffice to say, Hall is enjoying the new experience.
#NJDevils: Taylor Hall said the last time he had this much fun playing hockey in February was in Junior.
Hall, of course, authored quite a prolific junior career, winning back-to-back Memorial Cups with the Windsor Spitfires before being selected No. 1 overall in the 2010 draft.
The team success never carried over into the professional ranks. Until now, that is.
"I think I've played on some bad hockey teams, if you want me to put it bluntly," Hall said when asked about finally finding himself in a playoff race.
In 54 games this season, the 26-year-old leads the Devils with 62 points.
