Right now, Carey Price can't stop a beach ball.
The Montreal Canadiens netminder was pulled Saturday night in the second period against the Edmonton Oilers after allowing four goals on 14 shots in just over 20 minutes of ice time.
In his 10th career start vs the #Oilers, Carey Price gets pulled for the 1st time but allows 4+ goals for the 5th time. He's now got a ghastly 3.73 GAA & .860 save % all-time vs EDM

Backup goalie extraordinaire Antti Niemi replaced Price 2:24 into the second stanza.
After returning from injury on Nov. 22, Price racked up five consecutive wins while registering a .962 save percentage. In the three games since, Price has looked shaky while allowing 11 goals and earning two losses.
