Montreal Canadiens

Habs injured goalie Carey Price returned to the practice ice for the first time in a week on Monday. After practice, Canadiens head coach Claude Julien said the team will continue to take things day by day with Price, but the goaltender will join the team for their back-to-back games on the road on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Though Price will make the trip, Charlie Lindgren will start on Tuesday night against the Dallas Stars. Price has been sidelined since Nov. 2 with a lower-body injury.

Defenceman David Schlemko, who had hand surgery on Oct. 18, practiced for the first time since the opening of training camp on Monday and will also join the Canadiens for their road trip.

Fellow defenceman Shea Weber left the ice 10 minutes into practice. Julien said Weber will travel with the team as well.
