Carey Price is feeling the support from Montreal.

Price received a standing ovation from the Bell Centre crowd before the Montreal Canadiens season opener against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday.
The Canadiens goalie high-fived fans and tipped his hat to the crowd after being announced.

The emotional ovation comes after it was announced in August that
Price was unlikely to play this season
due to a lingering knee injury. Price played in five games last season.
One thing is for sure, the Canadiens fans have Price's back.
