Canadiens goaltender Carey Price is sick with the flu and is doubtful to play in Montreal's NHL season opener Thursday night against the Maple Leafs in Toronto.
Price and injured defenseman Andrei Markov(notes), who is also sick, did not take part in practice Wednesday.
Backup netminder Alex Auld(notes) is expected to play if Price is unavailable.
The club has yet to decide whether to call up Curtis Sanford from AHL Hamilton as a backup.
