Carey Price resumes skating following off-season knee surgery

It was a sight all Montreal Canadiens fans were waiting to see as Carey Price took to the ice at the team's practice facility in Brossard, Quebec on Thursday.

Earlier this week, Price told NHL.com reporter Dave Stubbs that he wasn't sure when he would resume skating, and would be continuing his off-ice rehab until he could give it a go on the ice. The 34-year-old had off-season knee surgery to clean up a torn meniscus, which was discovered after the Canadiens' magical playoff run ended in defeat at the hands of the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup Final.

There is still no timeline for when Price may get game action, but it's more likely he sits out Montreal's six pre-season games in order to prepare for their regular season opener against the Toronto Maple Leafs on October 13th.
