BROSSARD, Que. - Forget the language controversy, P.K. Subban says being made a healthy scratch as the Montreal Canadiens lost a fifth game in a row was the real humiliation.
Expect Subban to play against the Sens tomorrow. The Toronto native has two goals and 14 points through 35 games.
Subban moves back to the top PP unit, replacing Yannick Weber. With only one point and a minus-6 rating over his first six games, Subban needs to kickstart his offense.
Subban is nursing a "minor upper-body thing" and isn't playing golf today. "I'll be ready for camp" he adds.
No way to tell whether his "minor upper-body thing" will be a nagging injury at this point in time. Be aware that Subban may battle through some pain this season; it seems like the Habs are doing everything possible to ensure 100 percent health.
