Top Canadiens News

  • Canadiens' Oliver Kapanen: Lights lamp Wednesday

    Kapanen scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Jets.

    Kapanen also led the Canadiens' forwards with 20:07 of ice time as the team relied heavily on its top six. The 22-year-old has two goals and two helpers over his last eight games. He's played well enough to carve out consistent middle-six minutes from the start of the season, but he's definitely trending up with 16-plus minutes in three straight games. On the year, he has eight goals, six helpers, 38 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 14 hits and a plus-3 rating through 26 outings.

  • Canadiens' Juraj Slafkovsky: Buries another power-play goal

    Slafkovsky scored a power-play goal on three shots, added three hits, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Jets.

    Slafkovsky has scored in consecutive outings and has three goals and two assists during his four-game point streak. His strong play of late has helped him retake a spot on the Canadiens' top line at even strength. The 21-year-old winger is at nine goals, 15 points, 53 shots on net, 48 hits, 23 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 26 contests.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Shootout hero Wednesday

    Caufield picked up a power-play assist and had the only successful attempt in the shootout during Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Jets.

    After helping to set up Juraj Slafkovsky for Montreal's first goal midway through the second period, Caufield opened the shootout by going five-hole on Eric Comrie. The assist extended Caufield's point streak to nine games, a hot streak in which he's racked up two goals and 11 points.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Back in win column Wednesday

    Dobes stopped 29 shots in regulation and overtime and all three shootout attempts he faced in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Jets.

    After getting shelled for seven goals in Colorado last Saturday, Dobes bounced back with a much better effort. The 24-year-old netminder might be making another push to move past Sam Montembeault on Montreal's depth chart -- he's won three of his last four starts and allowed three goals or fewer in five of his last six, although his 3.11 GAA and .891 save percentage on the season remain mediocre.

  • Canadiens' Bryce Pickford: Surging on offense for Medicine Hat

    Pickford scored twice and added an assist in WHL Medicine Hat's 7-1 win over Prince Albert on Wednesday.

    Pickford has three goals and seven points over his last three games. The Canadiens prospect is up to 15 goals and 16 helpers, as well as a plus-26 rating, through 26 appearances this season. Pickford is also captaining the Tigers this season, showing off his leadership traits in addition to a blossoming offense.

  • Canadiens' Adam Engstrom: Returns to AHL

    Engstrom was reassigned to AHL Laval on Wednesday.

    Engstrom was scratched for two straight games, so a demotion to the Rocket shouldn't come as a surprise. He appeared in two games while with the Canadiens, logging two shots on net, two blocked shots and a hit. It's unclear if he'll be called up again prior to Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs.

  • Canadiens' Florian Xhekaj: Demoted after game

    Xhekaj was reassigned to AHL Laval on Wednesday.

    Xhekaj didn't suit up in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Jets. He posted one assist, four shots on net, nine hits and seven PIM over five outings during his first NHL stint. The Canadiens don't play until Saturday in Toronto, so this may be a move to get Xhekaj playing time with Laval before he gets called back up.

  • Canadiens' Juraj Slafkovsky: Strikes on power play

    Slafkovsky scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Senators.

    Slafkovsky is warming up again with two goals and three assists over his last five games. He's been occupying a second-line role lately, though he also remains on the top power-play unit. Slafkovsky is up to eight goals, 14 points, 50 shots on net, 45 hits, 21 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 25 appearances this season. He would need to pick up the pace to reach the 50-point mark for a third straight year.

  • Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Two PP helpers in Tuesday's loss

    Caufield collected two power-play assists in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Senators.

    The 24-year-old winger helped set up tallies by Juraj Slafkovsky in the first period and Nick Suzuki in the second, but Montreal couldn't get anything going at even strength. Caufield extended his point streak to eight games in the process, a stretch in which he's piled up two goals and 10 points, including three power-play helpers.

  • Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Two points in Tuesday's loss

    Suzuki produced a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Senators.

    The Canadiens' lack of success at 5-on-5 doomed them, but Suzuki still had a productive night for his fantasy investors. The 26-year-old center has gotten onto the scoresheet in six straight games, a hot streak in which he's racked up four goals and nine points, including two goals and three assists with the man advantage.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Stumbles against Sens

    Montembeault made 24 saves in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Ottawa.

    It was the first time since Oct. 23 that Montembeault had given up more than four goals. The 29-year-old netminder has just one win in his last six outings, going 1-3-0 during that stretch with a shaky 3.86 GAA and .855 save percentage.

  • Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Gets starting nod versus Jets

    Dobes will be between the pipes at home versus Winnipeg on Wednesday, Marc Dumont of Montreal Hockey Now reports.

    Dobes started the 2025-26 campaign riding a six-game winning streak, but has since gone 2-3-2 in his past seven outings while sporting a 4.42 GAA. He gave up seven goals to the Avalanche on Saturday in his last appearance. Still, the 24-year-old backstop has already set a new personal best for wins this year (eight), and could push Sam Montembeault for more opportunities.

  • Canadiens' Jayden Struble: Expected to play Tuesday

    Struble (upper body) is slated to play Tuesday versus the Senators, Guillaume Lefrancois of La Presse reports.

    Struble missed Saturday's game versus the Avalanche due to the injury, but it looks like he's good to go. He'll retake his spot in the bottom four alongside Arber Xhekaj, and Adam Engstrom is set to be a healthy scratch.

  • Canadiens' Jayden Struble: Game-time decision against Sens

    Struble (upper body) will be a game-time call versus Ottawa on Tuesday, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports.

    Struble was unavailable for the Sens' matchup with Colorado on Saturday but will at least take the warmup ahead of Tuesday's clash. If the defenseman does miss out again, Adam Engstrom figures to remain in the bottom pairing alongside Alexandre Carrier.

  • Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Defending crease Tuesday

    Montembeault will protect the home net against Ottawa on Tuesday, according to Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette.

    Montembeault stopped 30 shots in a 4-1 win over Vegas on Friday. He has a 5-5-1 record with a 3.48 GAA and an .864 save percentage through 13 appearances this season. Ottawa is tied with the Golden Knights for 15th in the league with 3.04 goals per game this campaign.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Canadiens' Jayden Struble: Still day-to-day

    Struble (upper body) remains day-to-day and won't participate in Monday's practice.

    Struble sat out Saturday's 7-2 loss to Colorado because of the injury, and his absence from Monday's session doesn't bode well for his availability for Tuesday's game against Ottawa. If Struble is unavailable again, Adam Engstrom will probably stay in the lineup.
