Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price and defenceman P.K. Subban will not play again this season, the team announced on Wednesday.

Price suffered an MCL sprain to his right knee in November, which was not related to the injury that kept him out of action earlier in the season.

"Although Carey has made excellent progress and is very close to being able to return to competition, he has not presently been cleared to do so. He is expected to make a full recovery over the off-season," said Canadiens’ head physician, Dr. Vincent Lacroix.

TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun reached out to Team Canada general manager Doug Armstrong for comment on Price's availability for the upcoming World Cup of Hockey.

"We named Carey with the understanding he will be 100% come the World Cup, nothing has changed in that thought process," Armstrong responded.

Subban suffered a neck injury on March 10 against the Buffalo Sabres and has missed 12 games.

Mark Barberio (concussion), Victor Bartley (groin/broken foot) and Lucas Lessio (right knee) are also out for the rest of the season.

The Canadiens have two games remaining.
