www.nhl.comI don’t have live tool access right now to pull the very latest headlines, but I can share what’s generally known about Carey Price’s status and where things stood most recently.
Core update
- Carey Price has been out of active play for several years due to knee injuries and related health discussions. As of the last widely reported updates, he remained on long-term injured reserve (LTIR) with no clear plan to return to playing, and there was ongoing talk about contract and cap considerations for his former team.[2][4]
Recent trends you might expect
- As of early 2025 and into 2026, there were frequent reports about Price’s contract continuing to affect team salary caps, with occasional trade chatter centered on moving his remaining cap hit or LTIR implications, though a return to NHL play appeared unlikely in many analyses.[3][2]
- Some outlets continued to classify Price as effectively retired from on-ice duties, focusing on the business and cap-management angles rather than a comeback timeline.[8][3]
Where to check for the latest
- For up-to-the-minute status, check current NHL and team outlets (NHL.com, team social feeds) and reputable hockey news sites, as they publish daily updates on LTIR statuses, knee-injury recoveries, and any potential contract moves.[5][8]
