Canadiens' Price practices with team for 1st time since injury

Carey Price appears to be inching closer and closer to a potential return.

The Montreal Canadiens goaltender took to the ice for the morning skate Thursday, marking the first time he has shared the ice with his teammates since going down with a leg injury in late November, according to Sportsnet's John Bartlett.

Price is currently with the team on its Florida road trip. Earlier in the week, head coach Michel Therrien noted that he was hopeful that Price would return before the end of the season.

The 28-year-old has dressed in just 12 games this season, going 10-2-0 with a 2.06 GAA and a .934 save percentage.
