And Louis Leblanc makes my Dobberprospects update look stupid. He had 0 pts in 4 games at the time of the update and Patrick Holland was called up instead so I felt like the outlook was starting to look bleak. Things can go south quickly if you're losing your rank in the call-up order. Leblanc responds with a three-point night.

Doesn't look like there will be any changes to the lines for today. At least based on yesterday's practice lines...

The next year is when the GM really gets a chance to build this team the way he wants to. Gionta, Markov, Blunden, Emelin, Bouillon, Murray, Diaz and Parros are all UFAs, and Eller, White and Subban are RFAs. I expect many of them to be gone. With the cap going up next year, there's a good opportunity to start building this team exactly as he wants it to be built. Depending on signings during the year and what the cap will be, the team could be $20-$30 million under the cap after the playoffs.

Gionta has been a step behind for a couple years now...

Overall Thoughts
Solid bounce-back outing that didn't see the team phone it in after the first period. Aside from the third period before the Ducks finally put one past Price the team was playing hard all night.
Carey Price
He made a quiet 31 saves. He was really in the zone so most saves were absorbed and the scoring thread would be neutralized immediately.
Tomas Plekanec
This was easily his best game of the year. He was by far the best player on the ice with a goal and two assists and even won 9/16 faceoffs. It's nice to see his new line with Gionta and Bournival clicking.
Michael Bournival
This was his best game of his career. Very persistent and stole the puck from the Ducks often. He did all the work that led to Plekanec's goal. He added the opening goal.
Nathan Beaulieu
The progression is there. His confidence is growing and he is getting more involved. The one knock is the times that he would dump the puck down the ice before getting to center ice.
PK Subban - Rene Bourque
These two have outstanding chemistry with the long pass. Bourque has had at least three breakaways recently off of Subban passes.
David Desharnais
He was very good on faceoffs and better overall. The team still needs more from him. It's not easy when the wingers are Bourque and Moen though.
Michael Blunden
What the hell is he doing getting involved in a staged fight when the team is up 2-0???
Saku Koivu
Classy move naming him third star of the game. He didn't have to needlessly take the first star but it still gave him a moment alone on the ice. Cool to see.

Here are the players signed through next season:

Daniel Briere ($4.000m) / Rene Bourque ($3.333m)
Travis Moen ($1.850m) / Michael Bournival ($0.870m)
DEFENSEMEN
Josh Gorges ($3.900m) / Nathan Beaulieu ($1.275m)

GOALTENDERS

Peter Budaj ($1.400m)

CAPGEEK.COM TOTALS (follow @capgeek on Twitter)
(these totals are compiled with the bonus cushion)
SALARY CAP: $64,300,000; CAP PAYROLL: $43,360,833; BONUSES: $3,045,000
CAP SPACE (15-man roster): $23,984,167
The cap will go up for sure, and by a fair amount, let's say around $70M, so it would give the Habs roughly 30 millions to play with.
Subban and Eller will probably get near to 12 millions between the two of them, which leaves around 18 millions.
With the Subban signing, and if you believe Beaulieu will be a regular, there are only three defensemen under contract (purposely ignoring Drewiskie).
18 millions to spend on 4 Dmen, including a suitable replacement for Markov, and a few bottom liners up front...
With Briere off the books in two years, and with the cap probably raising again, no need to worry about Galchenyuk and Gallagher contract expiring at the end of next season.
It will indeed be interesting to see what Bergevin is going to do in the next 12 months or so!!
Oh Eric... want me to add Blunden on the list above??
