Carey Price is following his process as it should be, he put on his equipment on Monday, as it should be. He had been skating without it for several days, but the plan was to have him put on his pads this week. He started on Monday, and then today, pictures/videos have been circulating.

In the case of Jeff Petry, it doesn't seem as bad as we thought, he could return to the lineup for the next trip of the Montreal Canadiens. But in what condition?
