Seriously, if he's healthy he plays, they have to see 10min a game from him to start and see how he handles that, then a little more per game until season's end. He won't hurt the tank anyway, Habs' will take maybe 1 pt on this west coast swing (history be our predictor), and then lose to Buffalo when they get back. At the earliest he'd return after the trip imo, based on his comments today.

The Habs always claim to ease them into the lineup, and by the second game he's playing 25 mins a game.
