GAMEDAY: All Habs Headlines

► Subban watch: 

  • P.K.Subban is scheduled to have a physical in Ottawa today and will meet with Marc Bergevin and Michel Therrien to discuss their team philosophy. Subban also had a chance to meet with the media saying “It’s not about me anymore. Its about the team.”
  • Subban is expected to play in at least one of the weekend games in Montreal after participating in practices. Subban was back in the Canadiens pre-game video montage last night — his image got a big cheer from Bell Centre fans but there was a contingent of boo-birds too.

  • Peter Budaj is the scheduled starter tonight in Ottawa for his first game of the season.  Carey Price gets a well-deserved rest after backstopping the Canadiens to a solid 4-1 start.  Price’s stats have been stellar with a 1.98 GAA and a .924 SV%.
