Finally back in the crease, Price enjoys watching Habs score 5

Carey Price had arguably the best view.

Back in the crease for the Montreal Canadians, the goaltender made 27 saves in his first regular-season game since November 25, 2015. But he had more fun watching his team's offensive exploits against the Arizona Coyotes.

"I thought we were skating well and moving the puck," Price told the club's website, "but it's always a bonus to put up a five-spot."

Price improved to 8-0 lifetime against the Coyotes, with a .949 save percentage. Any questions about his health - whether it's the flu or his knee - can be put to bed.

"I felt fine. I wasn't going to go if I wasn't 100 percent. It's nice to get back into the routine and get the feel of the regular season again."

The Habs are 3-0-1 to start the season and have allowed only seven goals in four games.

"For a guy who hasn't skated for a while, because of his flu, he looked sharp," head coach Michel Therrien said, according to the CBC. "Very encouraging to see."
