Brett Kulak calls out Carey Price over morning skates at the Bell Centre

Price has been a regular attendee at morning skates this season, but Kulak says they're not necessary

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Brett Kulak has called out Carey Price over his attendance at morning skates.

Price has been a regular attendee at morning skates this season, but Kulak says they're not necessary.

"I don't think they're necessary," Kulak said. "I think it's more important for us to get our rest and be ready for the game."

Kulak's comments come after Price was criticized for his performance in the Canadiens' 5-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.

Price allowed five goals on 29 shots, and his save percentage has dropped to .890 this season.

Some have speculated that Price's attendance at morning skates may be contributing to his poor play.

Kulak's comments suggest that he agrees with that assessment.

Price has not commented on Kulak's remarks, but it's clear that there is some tension between the two players.

It remains to be seen whether Kulak's comments will have any impact on Price's attendance at morning skates.

But it's clear that the Canadiens need to find a way to improve their performance, and that may mean making some changes to their pregame routine.
