Canadiens G Price says he doesn't need surgery

BROSSARD, Quebec -- Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price said Saturday that he doesn't need surgery for the lower-body injury he sustained in the Eastern Conference finals.

Price's playoffs ended in the second period of the series opener after New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider crashed into him while on a breakaway. Price would only call it a lower-body injury, although he was wearing a brace on his right knee in the days after the injury.

"Over time it's going to get back to normal," he said. "I actually got really lucky, it could have been a lot worse than it was."
