Better chance to play again first - Price or Andersen (need advice ASAP)

[RizzeeDizzee]

Is there any info on estimated return dates for either of these guys? I have to reserve one for the upcoming week and need to decide which among the two is more likely to return before a week from today. I'm leaning toward reserving Andersen because the Habs play one more game and Price has been out longer, but then I wonder if Andersen might be back any day now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would go Andersen. he has an injury history - of multiple short term injuries.

Price, multiple long term injuries.

Price is back at practice today, should know more in a couple hours.

They were both on the ice today. So, it’s a good sign. I would go Andersen on this one because I think the Habs will make sure Price is 100% before returning with all his injury history

Thanks for the quick replies. I figured one would be back sooner than the other but it looks like the return of both might be imminent. That makes my decision harder, but I can't complain since it's better than both being out longer.

Price at least backing up Niemi tomorrow.

@JohnLuTSNMtl
Habs Julien says Price should be able to backup Niemi, at the very least, Thursday vs #Canucks. How Price feels tomorrow morning after his first full practice with the team today will be a determining factor for his readiness to start.

Andersen unavailable.

@reporterchris
Garret Sparks starts for #leafs tomorrow afternoon. Frederik Andersen still unavailable, per Mike Babcock.

Looks like Price will play.

@EricEngels

Carey Price said he expects to play tomorrow vs. @Canucks. Will see how he feels tomorrow.
