Carey Price's injury has been acknowledged to be a medial collateral ligament in his right knee

Price's injury has been acknowledged to be a medial collateral ligament in his right knee, the Montreal Gazette reports.

Analysis:

The Canadiens announced Wednesday that Price will not return this season, but also disclosed what had long been thought. The injury has been managed without surgery and rehabilitation treatments lead to full recovery, according to the team's statement. The team noted that Price has made progress in his rehab, but the demand placed on the knee, given his goaltending style, made it unwise to clear him for action.
