"There never has been surgery and there never will be," Bergevin said of Price's lower-body injury, per TSN's John Lu. The 28-year-old hasn't played since Nov. 25, and though many believe he could be shut down for the year, Bergevin implied he's closer to full health.

"I'm convinced if he played a position other than goalie he'd be playing hockey right now," he added, according to NHL.com's Arpon Basu.
