ABOUT THE HABS

The Habs return home after Wednesday’s game in Phildadelphia to begin a three-game stint at the Bell Centre: Thursday vs. the Jets followed by meetings with Boston and Washington.

Canadiens rookie Brendan Gallagher is among the top freshmen in the NHL this season, trailing only Florida’s Jonathan Huberdeau and Cory Conacher, now of Ottawa, in scoring by a first-year player.

P.K. Subban scored seven goals in March, the most by a Canadiens defenceman in a month since Mathieu Schneider had the same total in February 1994. The franchise record for goals in a month by a D-man is 10, set by Guy Lapointe in February 1976.

The Jets will face Peter Budaj in the Habs net, as Carey Price started against the Flyers in Philly. Budaj is 5-1-1 with a 2.47 GAA and .906 save percentage.
