P.K. Subban is back where it all started.

The Nashville Predators defenseman is back in Montreal for his club's contest against the Canadiens on Thursday and to receive the Sovereign's Medal for Volunteers for his contributions to the Montreal Children's Hospital.

On Wednesday, Subban spoke to reporters where he reflected on his former club, while giving his well wishes to former head coach Michel Therrien who was fired in lieu of Claude Julien two weeks ago - despite reports of a rocky relationship during his time with the Canadiens.

"He taught me a lot about the game and being a professional and I wish him the best," Subban said, according to TSN's John Lu.

Of course, in returning to the city he spent the first six seasons of his career, Subban couldn't help but reflect on his trade to the Predators - a move he insists left him with one burning regret.

Subban, however, also joked about the situation, suggesting the move to Nashville was made easier with few family ties holding him back.

"I've made it to 27 without any kids... at least none that I know of," said Subban.

In all, Subban is thrilled to be back in Montreal and admits the thing he is looking forward to most is seeing Mme. Beliveau in the stands Thursday night.
