Canadiens’ Carey Price restarting knee rehab after meeting with doctor

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will be restarting rehab on his injured knee and remains out of the lineup indefinitely.

The decision to restart the rehab process came after Price met with the doctor who performed his surgery, who determined the move was necessary because Price was unable to continue working on his knee during the team’s Christmas break and extended COVID-19 pause earlier this month.

Price, 34, had knee surgery in July — only weeks after helping the Canadiens reach the Stanley Cup Final. His recovery from the knee injury was paused for most of October after he entered the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program but he rejoined the team in November and has been working — both in the gym and on the ice — to get back to game shape ever since.

Head coach Dominque Ducharme said the team does not consider this to be a setback for Price.

In addition to Price, the Canadiens provided injury and availability updates on a number of players Monday.

• Josh Anderson is set to return to the lineup Monday against the Arizona Coyotes. The veteran forward has missed the past 11 games with an upper-body injury suffered in early December.

• Tyler Toffoli is nearing a return and is expected to appear in a game this week. The veteran winger is ahead of schedule after having surgery on his hand in mid-December, an injury that initially carried an eight-week recovery timeline.

• Veteran forward Paul Byron is nearing a return from off-season hip surgery and a recent stint in COVID-19 protocols.

• Goaltender Jake Allen had an MRI for his lower-body injury Monday and the results will help determine his timeline for a return. Allen was injured during last week’s game against the Bruins and has returned to Montreal.

• Brendan Gallagher remains one to two weeks away from returning from a lower-body injury suffered in late December but has resumed skating.

• Joel Edmundson has returned to Montreal after being away from the club following the death of his father. There is no timeline for him to return to the lineup.

• Forward Alex Belzile was placed on waivers and will be assigned to AHL Laval if he clears.

Canadians Abroad Roundup: Will Laryea be next Canadian in Premier League?

January was a transformative month for the Canadian men’s national team. Wins in Honduras and at home to the U.S. – coupled with the El Salvador road victory on Feb. 2 – all but guaranteed its qualification for the 2022 World Cup. Fans could start monitoring flights to Doha with relative comfort. An arguably superior development transpired that month, too. Nine Canadian-eligible players secured loans or permanent transfers to new clubs in the transfer window. Many of those moves were steps up in terms of the quality and size of the respective teams. For instance, Stephen Eustaquio joined Porto on loan with an option to buy from Pacos de Ferreira. Now he’s transitioned from mid-table obscurity to a league title and into the Champions League, provided reports are correct and he joins the Dragoes permanently. Ike Ugbo was loaned to Troyes in Ligue 1 from Genk, an admittedly big club in Belgium with a rich history. But moving to a top-five European league, especially to a club under t...

Duterte allows more pork imports

President Rodrigo Duterte has allowed additional pork imports to boost the supply and stabilize meat prices, a Palace official said on Thursday. President Rodrigo Duterte. Contributed photo According to Cabinet Secretary Karlo Alexei Nograles, the President approved during a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday the recommendation of the Department of Agriculture (DA) to increase the Minimum Access Volume (MAV) of pork imports for this year. He said the present MAV was 54,210 metric tons, but the DA projected that the annual demand for pork supply will reach 1,618,355 mt. “The DA has recommended that the MAV must be expanded just enough to cover the projected shortfall for the year,” Nograles said during a virtual press briefing. The MAV sets the limit on agricultural imports that have a customs duty lower than the out-quota customs tariff. Nograles said Duterte approved this proposal, along with the creation of a sub-task group on economic intelligence “to go after smugglers, profiteer...

In anticipated season debut, Kyrie Irving scores 22 as Nets beat Pacers

NEW YORK — Kyrie Irving was just the jolt the Brooklyn Nets needed to escape a midseason slump. He can only provide it on a part-time basis, as his refusal to get vaccinated against the coronavirus means he can’t play in New York. So for now, Irving will enjoy every chance he gets on the road _ while still holding out hope he’ll be able to put on a show for his own fans. “I know what the consequences were, I still know what they are,” Irving said Wednesday night. “But right now, I’m just going to take it one day at a time, like I said, and just enjoy this time that I get to play with my guys. “However it looks later in the season, then we’ll address it then.” Irving scored 22 points in his first game of the season, helping the Nets rally for a 129-121 road victory over the Indiana Pacers. After being held out of the team’s first 35 games because he refused to get vaccinated, Irving started and played 32 minutes in his highly anticipated season debut. “The game of basketball i...
