It's pretty quiet today for the Montreal Canadiens, coming off a solid win in New Jersey, as the team was on the road and preparing to face the Maple Leafs in Toronto tomorrow.
The story to watch closely remains the potential return to action of Carey Price, which could happen in two or three days according to reports, but some are even hopeful it could be sooner than that.
Could he be in uniform tomorrow?
As reported by our colleagues at Fanadiens.com, Carey Price is indeed on the club's current trip and, again this morning, he skated and looked great.
He practiced in a game situation and seemed to be 100%, according to reporters on hand.
Interesting fact: Price was the first player to jump on the ice Friday morning in Toronto (for the optional practice) and he was with (get this) Martin St-Louis.
And the two men had a long discussion together. We have to remember that, according to recent news, Price should not face the Leafs tomorrow, but has the plan changed?

Is head coach St. Louis on the verge of a real big announcement? When asked about it in the last few seconds at a press briefing, he mentioned that the decision is up to Carey Price.
So if Carey feels good tomorrow and decides he wants to play against the Leafs, it could really happen.
"It will be his decision to make." - Martin St. Louis
Either way, it's coming up!
