Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price skated with head athletic therapist Graham Rynbend on Tuesday.

Price, who has been sidelined with a lower body injury since late November, was not wearing any equipment during the skate.

Last week, Canadiens head coach Michel Therrien said the team is not expecting Price back before the All-Star break at the end of January.

Price won the Hart Trophy last season as the NHL's MVP and also claimed the Vezina Trophy as the league's top goalie after setting career bests in wins (44), shutouts (nine), goals-against average (1.96) and save percentage (.933).

This season Price, 28, has a 10-2-0 record with two shutouts, a goals-against average of 2.06 and a save percentage of .934.
