Price sets Canadiens record for games played by goalie

Montreal goalie Carey Price made history in starting Tuesday against Winnipeg, passing Jacques Plant for the most regular-season games played by a Canadiens goaltender.

Price recently passed Patrick Roy - who appeared in 551 games - for second on the list.

Entering Tuesday, Price had a 286-200-61 career regular-season record with a .919 save percentage after being drafted fifth overall by Montreal in 2005.

Price's eight-year, $84-million extension kicks in next season, meaning he'll continue to set the bar in Montreal for the foreseeable future.
