Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price won't travel with the club for Saturday's game against the Ottawa Senators, the Canadiens confirmed Thursday night.

Price missed Thursday's season opener - a win over the Buffalo Sabres - due to illness.

Al Montoya stopped 30-of-31 shots for Montreal in the 4-1 victory.

Price played only 12 games last season due to injury.

The winner of the 2015 Hart and Vezina trophies led Canada to the World Cup of Hockey title last month.
