Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price is expecting to return to action Saturday against the visiting Buffalo Sabres.
Price, who has missed 10 games with a lower-body injury, said Friday that he's ready to play.
``It's just about getting timing back and getting into the groove again,'' Price said.
Price suffered an injury during the warmup before a Nov. 2 game against Minnesota but still played in a 6-3 loss to the Wild. He has a 3-7-1 mark this season with a 3.77 goals-against average and an .877 save percentage.
The Canadiens assigned goaltender Charlie Lindgren to AHL Laval on Friday. He posted a 3-4-1 record in eight games this season.
Entering Friday's games, Montreal (8-12-3) was third-last in the Eastern Conference standings with 19 points.
