Stay out of Carey Price's crease.
The Montreal Canadiens netminder took matters into his own hands, delivering multiple blows with his blocker, after Kyle Palmieri crashed the net on a scoring chance late in the first period Thursday night.
New Jersey's goal earlier in the frame went under review for possible goalie interference, which could have played a role in Price's displeasure.
Following the game, Price revealed self-defense was the motive for his aggression on the play.
"It seems to be the nature of the league; go to the net, run the goalie over, and score a goal. You just gotta stick up for yourself every once in a while," Price said, according to Sportsnet's Eric Engels.
