<li> The good, the bad, the ugly. Malcolm Subban was left high and dry at points, but also let in some he'd like back. Claude Julien would like to see him learn to fight through the disappointment. Jarome Iginla deflected in a Matt Bartkowski shot. Nick Johnson scored the second goal. Torey Krug got scrappy.

<li> Subban received jeers from the Garden crowd, but his teammates expressed support as he manned up. Bobby Robins was injured in Baltimore on Tuesday, and will miss 3 weeks. Patrice Bergeron believes he may be cleared to play on Saturday.
