MONTREAL – Montreal Canadiens defenceman P.K. Subban and centreman Lars Eller, were amongst 20 players who filed for salary arbitration on Saturday.
Subban who played 82 games for the CH is coming off a stellar season that saw him score 10 goals and 53 points. He also garnered 14 points in 17 playoff matches.
