Price passes Roy on Canadiens' all-time goalie games played list
Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price moved into second place on the franchise's all-time games played list by a goaltender, surpassing the legendary Patrick Roy with his 552nd appearance Tuesday against the Philadelphia Flyers, per NHL Public Relations.

Price should sit at the top of this list within a couple of weeks, as he is now just five appearances shy of passing another Habs legend, Jacques Plante.
As far as wins go, Price will have to wait until at least next season to record the most in team history, though he isn't that far off.
| Goalie | Wins |
|---|---|
| Jacques Plante | 314 |
| Patrick Roy | 289 |
| Carey Price | 285 |
Price is signed through the 2025-26 season, so barring a surprise retirement or trade, he has plenty of time to reach the top of the team's leaderboard in a variety of goaltending categories.
