The Hockey Hall of Fame is set to announce its newest inductees on Monday, with former Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price being a prominent candidate. Price, who last played on April 29, 2022, is eligible for induction though he has not made a formal retirement announcement. His resume is exceptionally strong, featuring a 2014-15 season where he swept major individual awards, including the Vezina Trophy for best goaltender and the Hart Trophy as league MVP.
Price also earned the William M. Jennings Trophy and the Ted Lindsay Award that same season. Furthermore, he was awarded the Bill Masterton Trophy in 2021-2022, recognizing his resilience in overcoming substance abuse issues with the Player Assistance Program and battling numerous career injuries. While a Stanley Cup victory eluded him in Montreal, his playoff performance from 2013-14 onward was consistently stellar, with impressive save percentages and low goals-against averages.
