Price joins elite company with 250th career win

Carey Price is in rarefied air thanks to yet another victory.

The Montreal Canadiens goaltender stopped 20-of-21 shots in a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday night, becoming the fourth netminder in Canadiens history to collect 250 wins in his NHL career.

Price also tied Johnny Bower and Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne for 50th on the all-time list.

He downplayed the accomplishment after the game, telling reporters it was "just another win for me," and adding that he doesn't "really care a whole bunch about milestones that much," according to NHL.com's Katie Brown.

Price improved to 17-4-2 with a 1.90 GAA and a .936 save percentage in 23 appearances, putting Friday's uncomfortable exit behind him, but not before being asked about the stare-down seen 'round the world.

If he plays like this when he's angry, opponents might hope to face a more peaceful Price in the future.
