Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Hartnell felt a bit of déjà vu when he learned he had a broken left foot.

Hartnell was injured during the Flyers' game Jan. 22 at the New Jersey Devils, and days later it was announced he would miss four-to-six weeks after surgery Jan. 25 to repair a broken first metatarsal in his foot.

It was reported that Hartnell sustained the injury when he was hit in the foot by a shot by teammate Kimmo Timonen. While that shot did do damage, it wasn't when the injury occurred.

OTTAWA -- It's been 11 months since P.K. Subban suited up for the Montreal Canadiens. With the lockout and his recent contract dispute behind him, the outspoken defenseman is aching to rejoin his team.

"I missed everything," Subban said. "I missed the game, I missed my teammates. This is hockey, this is what I've grown up doing my whole life and I look forward to getting back into the mix."

Subban signed a two-year, $5.75 million contract Monday night. He took his first skate with the club during an optional practice Wednesday morning in Ottawa, and was met by a swarm of media as he spoke for the first time since his new contract was inked.

"I've only seen a couple of my teammates," Subban said. "I think [I did it] purposely, I didn't want to get too involved while they're in a back-to-back situation. We spoke earlier at breakfast, but I'm going to wait until after the game. We'll have a couple of days off, and between that and practice we'll have lots of time to get together."

Every Wednesday during the season, NHL.com Correspondent Brian Metzer will provide you with an in-depth analysis of fantasy defensemen in our weekly segment: "On the 'D'-fence." From updated defensemen rankings to guys you should keep a close eye on and much more, Metzer will be your fantasy d-man expert all season long.

The Montreal Canadiens and restricted free agent defenseman P.K. Subban finally found enough common ground Monday to come to terms on a two-year contract. Though the feisty Subban has an uncanny knack of getting under the skin of opponents and occasionally teammates, his signing is great news for fantasy owners..

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks are zipping along right now, with all signs pointing toward more success.

What's directly ahead, however, is a pretty tall order -- even for a team as hot as Chicago (6-0-0), which set a new franchise record Sunday for wins to start a season by beating the rival Detroit Red Wings.

After playing their first six games in just nine days (four on the road), the Blackhawks will start a tough six-game road trip Wednesday against the Minnesota Wild (3-2-1) in the second installment of NBC Sports Network’s "Rivalry Night" series.

Chicago will be on the road for 14 days while "Disney on Ice" occupies United Center -- and a fairy tale ending isn't guaranteed for the Blackhawks. This trip likely will be a good measuring stick.

On Oct. 27, 2011, when the Ottawa Senators decided to send one of their top prospects home to Sweden, the consensus was that Mika Zibanejad would be back in the NHL soon enough.

After a nine-game trial with Ottawa to start last season, Zibanejad, the sixth pick in the 2011 NHL Draft, was dispatched to his home country, where he played for Djurgardens IF Stockholm of the Swedish Elite League. When Zibanejad scored the golden goal in overtime to beat Russia at the 2012 World Junior Championship, the perception was he would have no trouble making it to Ottawa again.

But a funny thing happened on the way to Scotiabank Place.

Through the lockout, the Senators keyed on properly developing their prized prospect. Before the 2013 WJC, they insisted he remain with their American Hockey League affiliate in Binghamton rather than compete for a chance to repeat as tournament champions.

When the final buzzer sounded in the gold-medal game of the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship, United States forward Ryan Hartman had an indescribable feeling.

"I saw a few guys crying and it kind of got the best of me," Hartman told NHL.com. "I believe I was the first one to jump on [goalie] John Gibson. I saw the look in his eyes … he was on the team that finished seventh [in 2012], and to finish on top this time was awesome. He looked so relieved."

The same could be said of Hartman, who was a tower of strength as a third-line grinder for U.S.  coach Phil Housley. He did everything asked of him, producing two goals, three points and a plus-4 rating in seven games.

LAS VEGAS -- Eleven years into the project, Wayne Gretzky still feels the same amount of excitement and has the same enthusiastic drive to run his annual fantasy camp as he did when he started it back in 2002.

"It really is a pure love," Gretzky told NHL.com Tuesday from the Bellagio, the host hotel for his annual event.

"My brother-in-law [Mike Brown], who unfortunately passed away because of cancer [in July 2010], he was really the guy who sat me down and said, 'Listen, you should look into this and maybe we should do a fantasy camp,'" he continued. "Between him and I we kicked it off 11 years ago. Unfortunately, he passed away but part of what continues this one is his memory, how excited he was about this camp and how good of a person he was."

Gretzky's camp has been held here in Las Vegas for the last four years. It previously took place in Phoenix during his days coaching the Coyotes after getting its start in Los Angeles more than a decade ago.

BROSSARD, Quebec -- P.K. Subban cleared a big hurdle by signing a two-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens on Monday, but he still has some work ahead of him before his two-week absence from the team can be completely erased from memory.

Teammates have been bombarded with questions about Subban ever since the season began -- actually, pretty much since he arrived in Montreal -- and most were relieved Tuesday morning that they wouldn't need to talk about the talented defenseman's contract status any longer.

FANTASY SPIN

Subban return only a matter of time

By Pete Jensen - NHL.com Staff Writer

With contract negotiations finally in his rearview mirror, P.K. Subban is gearing up for his long-awaited return to the Montreal Canadiens' lineup -- something that brings music to the ears of his fantasy owners.

"It's good that it's over and done with and it's settled," said Josh Gorges, Subban's defense partner last season and a likely candidate to be paired with him again this season. "We don't have to have these talks in the morning, what if this, what if that. It's over and we can focus on playing hockey."

The Canadiens have been playing pretty good hockey in Subban's absence, with a 3-1-0 record fueled by some of the stingiest defense in the League. The Canadiens enter Tuesday's game against the Winnipeg Jets (7:30 p.m. ET, RDS) tied for second in the NHL with 1.75 goals-allowed per game and sixth with 27.5 shots-allowed per game, so Subban's absence hasn't been particularly felt in that area.

Another department where Subban's influence often is felt is on the power play, but the Canadiens have excelled in that area as well, sitting seventh in the NHL with a 27.3-percent success rate.

Because of that success, Subban will need to try and make an effort not to rock the boat too much when he joins his teammates Wednesday in Ottawa for their morning skate prior to facing the Senators.

Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said Tuesday he hadn't spoken to Subban, and that he won't until they meet in person in Ottawa on Wednesday. And the one thing Therrien said he will stress to his young defenseman above everything else is the team concept he has tried to instill since training camp began.

"We're fortunate Pittsburgh has become one of the great hockey cities in America," Morehouse told reporters at a press conference announcing the second annual event.

"Those in Pittsburgh may remember the Dapper Dan Roundball Classic," he said. "I used to go to a lot of them growing up … it allowed us to see the greatest basketball players in the country before they became NBA players. This game is very similar in that fans will get an opportunity to see the best hockey players in America before they get drafted."
