Latest News About Carey Price

Here’s the latest on Carey Price based on publicly reported updates up to now.

• Status overview: Carey Price has not played in an NHL game since the 2021-22 season due to a knee injury, and multiple reports over the years have suggested he was unlikely to return to active play. This situation has kept Price on long-term injured reserve for an extended period.[6][10]

• Recent career trajectory: In the years since his injury, there has been ongoing uncertainty about a return to on-ice competition, with various outlets noting price’s contract and cap implications for the Montreal Canadiens, and later moves involving his contract in other leagues. The narrative has largely shifted from a potential comeback to considerations of retirement or retirement-like status for him, though formal retirement has not been universally declared.[2][3][4][5]

• Notable developments: There have been reports of Price’s contract remaining as a cap asset and discussions about whether he could be traded or moved as teams reassess roster and LTIR dynamics; some sources indicate he effectively remains out of play with limited prospects for a traditional comeback.[3][5][2]

• Publicly reported quotes: When Price spoke publicly in 2022 and 2023, he emphasized that his knee injury and rehab had made a return to play unlikely, though he did not definitively announce retirement at those times. Updated statements across outlets have largely reinforced the same sentiment.[9][10]

If you’d like, I can narrow this to the most recent month or week and summarize any new articles from reputable outlets, or pull the latest official statements from the Canadiens or Price’s representatives. I can also look for any confirmed retirement announcements or major contract moves if you want the absolute latest. Would you like me to focus on a specific source or region (e.g., North American press only) and a precise date window?
