Price out at least 1 week because of concussion protocols

<p>EDMONTON, Alberta &mdash; Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will be out at least a week because of concussion protocols.</p>
<p>Canadiens coach Dominique Ducharme updated his star goaltender’s status Tuesday.</p>
<p>Price was injured in the first period of Montreal’s 4-1 loss to Edmonton on Monday following a bump by Oilers forward Alex Chiasson. Jake Allen came on to start the second period and played the remainder of the game.</p>
<p>Price, the winner of the Hart and Vezina trophies in 2015 as the Most Valuable Player and top goaltender in the NHL, had just returned to the lineup in Saturday’s 4-0 loss at home to the Ottawa Senators after missing six games with a lower-body ailment.</p>
<p>Price has a 12-7-5 record with a 2.64 goals-against average and .901 save percentage this season.</p>
<p>Montreal has lost seven of its past 10 games and is fourth in the North Division, nine points behind Edmonton and six ahead of Calgary entering play Tuesday night.</p>
<p>The Canadiens face the Oilers again Wednesday night in Edmonton. </p>
