TORONTO -- Montreal Canadiens center Tomas Plekanec is entering the final year of his contract with the only NHL team he has ever known, but he's not worried about it.
Plekanec, who turns 33 on Oct. 31, is still the Canadiens' top center, one who plays in all situations, faces top opposition on a regular basis and is a consistent offensive producer. Plekanec has scored at least 20 goals in seven of his past eight full seasons, not counting the 14 goals he scored in the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season, and he has missed 12 games to injury in nine years.
