Canadiens Refuse to Use Price as Scapegoat for Recent Losses [Video]
Mired in another extended slump and carrying a four-game losing streak heading into tonight’s game against the Winnipeg Jets, the Montreal Canadiens are refusing to blame Carey Price for their struggles.

Canadiens Notebook: Jake Allen will be in goal for Habs Saturday night
If there’s one thing we have is we’ll be playing a lot of games, so he’s going to be playing a lot. After Saturday, the Canadiens don’t play again until Tuesday, when the Ottawa Senators will be at the Bell Centre. Ducharme said Josh Anderson, who was injured late in the first period of Thursday night’s game, is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, but is hoping the big right-winger can play Saturday night.
