Carey Price suffered a lower-body injury earlier in the week and will be unavailable for the Montreal Canadiens' game versus the Winnipeg Jets tonight.
Canadiens recalled goaltender @dustintokarski from the @IceCapsAHL this morning. (@CP0031 – lower body injury)

Dustin Tokarski has been recalled from the AHL's St. John's IceCaps to serve as Mike Condon's backup for the Sunday night matchup.
The extent of the injury is not known at this time. Price was able to finish the game on Thursday versus the Edmonton Oilers. The frequency of lower-body injuries for last year's Vezina Trophy-winner is becoming a concern, however.
No matter the prognosis, Condon has proven a capable NHL goaltender, winning his first three NHL starts and allowing no more than two goals in any game.
#Habs advise Price has a lower body injury. Details after morning skate. Condon to start tonight. Tokarski has been recalled from #IceCaps.
