Montreal Canadiens head coach Dominique Ducharme laid out the steps for Carey Price to return to game action on Tuesday.

The goaltender will begin with gym work, then move training alone on-ice before starting sessions with goalie coach Eric Raymond and then eventually joining the team for full practices. 

Price interacted with teammates at the Canadiens facility in Brossard Tuesday for the first time since he entered the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program on Oct. 7. He left the program after the 30-day mark on Nov. 6. 

#Habs Ducharme says he & players were very happy to see Price at the practice facility today.

Price’s steps will be:
1. Gym work;
2. Training alone on-ice;
3. On-ice work with GC Éric Raymond;
4. Full practices.

Timeline undetermined, pending progress on his knee. @TSN_Edge
