I still go Price.
Price vs Carolina
Talbot @ Colorado
Normally I'd pick Price and not think twice except for this player note:
Wed, Mar 22
Coach Claude Julien said that Carey Price isn't feeling 100 percent.
Advice: The Canadiens bench boss said the issue was "very minor," but he won't confirm if Price is playing on Thursday night yet. The good news is that Price managed to practice on Wednesday.
Also, Talbot is coming off a bad gave vs Anaheim and might have a good bounce back against Colorado.

I still go Price.
Price possibly not being 100% combined with Talbot's opponents would have leaning toward the latter to start.
I'll go with Talbot here.
Carolina has also been scoring a lot more recently.

You just can not sit Price!
Devils & Predators fan
I go with the safer option in Talbot.
1) he plays against Colorado
2) he does not have his coach saying he is not 100%
3) Talbot is guaranteeing you a start.
I'm a Habs fan so it's difficult for me to sit him:
Carey Price will face Carolina on Thursday.
Advice: Price has returned to form during the month of March, going 6-1 with 11 goals against and a .942 save percentage. He's also beaten the Hurricanes in his only appearance this season, stopping 31 of 32 shots.

If Price is playing, he would be my pick. As I mentioned in another thread, Talbot is playing the 2nd game of a back-to-back on the road.
