price: Montoya will almost certainly be up against Mike Condon, the man he beat out for the job as Price backup in training camp, according to Guelph Mercury. Condon was claimed off waivers by Pittsburgh at the end of camp to fill in for the injured Matt Murray. "We'll see how that goes," Montoya said with a laugh. It starts in goal, where Al Montoya will make a third straight start in place of the ailing Price when the teams meet Tuesday night at the Bell Centre. Penguins starter Marc-Andre Fleury was pegged to play Monday night at home against Colorado, making Condon the likely starter in Montreal, where he had an up and down rookie campaign playing most of the games after Price blew out a knee last Nov. 25. "I'm sure he'll be excited," said Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher. "He got a good opportunity there in Pittsburgh and I hope he takes advantage of it. The 2015 Hart and Vezina Trophy winner took part in off-ice training and worked for 40 minutes with goalie coach Stephane Waite before the main practice on Monday. I just hope it not night against us." Price is feeling better after missing Montreal first two games with a nasty flu, but needs to regain weight and energy before he can play.
