Canadiens vs. Canucks game recap: Carey Price shuts out Vancouver in his return

Carey Price made 33 saves in his return from a lower-body injury as the Montreal Canadiens returned home and started 2019 with a 2-0 win over the Vancouver Canucks Thursday night at the Bell Centre.

Jordie Benn and Jonathan Drouin scored for the Canadiens in their first home game after their annual Holiday road trip where they went 4-2-0.

The game started with a scary incident for the Canadiens. Brendan Gallagher took a shot off the hand and went right to the room, and looked like a potential bad injury but thankfully he returned before the end of the first period.
