Carey Price Records Eighth Shutout
Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens recorded his 8th shutout of the season on March 19, 2015. Montreal battled against the Carolina Hurricanes and shut them out by a score of 4 – 0. Price faced 31 shots and turned them all aside en route to the victory. Price is having a stellar season and should be the favorite to win the Vezina this season, and there is speculation that he is in the running for the Hart trophy as well.
Price is having the best season of his career, setting and matching career highs along the way. With the win tonight, Price has 39 wins, which is a career high, and tops for all goalies this season. He leads in all categories, except shutouts, but is only 1 shutout behind the league leader, Marc-Andre Fleury. His 8 shutouts matches his career high, and his .937 save percentage and 1.89 goals-against average are career bests, as well as the NHL best.
