Subban, Price go through on-ice workouts before Canadiens practice

Injured Montreal Canadiens superstars P.K. Subban and Carey Price were on the ice - and in full gear - Friday ahead of the team's official practice.

Subban, who suffered a non-serious neck injury and had to be stretchered off the ice eight days ago, performed the more strenuous drills, and looked quite sharp.

Having finished his workout before his teammates came out for practice, he likely won't be in the lineup versus the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Price was cautious with his movements, but displayed encouraging signs, dropping down and performing lateral movements to field pucks.

Report: NHL, NHLPA met on expansion Thursday

The NHL and NHLPA reportedly held an initial meeting in New York on Thursday to discuss the league's ongoing expansion process, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

A framework for the expansion draft, including the rules existing teams would have to abide by in protecting their current rosters, was presented to league executives at the GM meetings in Boca Raton, Fla., on Wednesday.

Dreger notes that the rules governing the ostensibly impending expansion draft won't be negotiated until the NHL confirms whether it will add either one or two new outfits for the 2017-18 season.

Teams are currently expected to be allowed to protect either seven forwards, three defensemen, and a goaltender, or eight skaters of any kind plus a goaltender.
