Carey Price Attempted NHL Comeback Last Season

There's a ton of speculation circulating online that goaltender Carey Price attempted an NHL comeback last season.

Yes, it's hard to confirm as it wasn't from Price directly, but someone who connected with the former Montreal Canadiens goalie in recent days reports that Price mentioned he attempted to make a comeback at some point last season, but shut things down once the knee pain was too much to ignore.

Home from Moncton. Was amazing meeting Carey Price. Was crazy hearing his story about attempting a comeback to Habs last year as he felt great. But woke up next morning with knee pain. He misses the game and the Habs. But mentioned about being a goalie coach for MTL.

The interesting part of all of this was the fact Price was technically on the San Jose Sharks last season, so who knows how all of that would have worked out, but the morale of the story here is the sad fact that Price had his career taken from him because of injuries.

Price last suited up during the 2021-22 season when he appeared in five games, recording a 1-4-0 record, along with a 3.63 GAA and .878 Sv.%. Now we wait to see if the Canadiens hire Price as a goalie coach or consultant heading into next season and beyond.
