Montreal fell 0-3 against Winnipeg during the night until Saturday.
In the home team's goal, Carey Price stood for the first time in over nine months.
The cage keeper was kept away by a knee injury and then also a pronounced drug abuse.
But now the 34-year-old is back.
- I have missed this so much, he says at the press conference afterwards.
"Very nice"
Price received a warm reception from the fans in Montreal.
- It was amazing.
Very nice, it warmed my heart and I felt welcome.
I really want to play well.
In terms of play, however, the goalkeeper's return left something to be desired.
He conceded three of 20 shots.
- I still felt good.
Overall, it was a great day.
