• Canadiens' Jeff Petry: Riding five-game point streak

  5D ago •

  Petry posted a power-play assist, four shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Canucks. Petry kept his point streak alive late with the primary helper on Ben Chiarot's third-period marker. That gives Petry four goals and three helpers in five games, a spectacular start to the season for the 33-year-old blueliner. He's added a plus-6 rating, 13 shots on net and eight blocked shots to round out his play.

• Canadiens' Jeff Petry: Still rolling with assist

  6D ago •

  Petry notched an assist, two hits and a pair of blocked shots in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Canucks. With four goals and two assists through four contests, Petry is one of 10 players at six points so far this season. The 33-year-old defenseman leads all NHL blueliners in points, although he's far from a lock to keep up this pace much longer. Petry also has 10 shots on net, eight blocked shots, seven hits and a plus-3 rating in 2020-21 -- even when his scoring cools off, his non-scoring production could help him maintain a high floor for fantasy value.

• Canadiens' Jeff Petry: Dishes shorthanded assist

  8D ago •

  Petry posted a shorthanded assist in Monday's 3-1 win over the Oilers. Petry has been a frequent name on the scoresheet with five points through the Canadiens' first three contests. The veteran defenseman has gotten it done in all situations, with two power-play points and now one while shorthanded. In non-scoring numbers, he has eight shots on net, six blocked shots and five hits. While this level of production is unsustainable, Petry's posted at least 40 points in each of the last three seasons and should reach the 30-point mark in a shortened 2020-21 campaign.

• Canadiens' Jeff Petry: Monster on the blue line

  10D ago •

  Petry scored twice in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Oilers. The first came on the power play; the second came on a long shot from the blue line that hit an Oilers defender and bounced into the net. Petry has a remarkable four points (two goals, two assists) in his first two games. If he does this for a couple more games, you should find a way to trade him to another manager -- Petry has had three straight seasons of at least 40 points, but this is unsustainable.

• Canadiens' Jeff Petry: Collects two helpers in Toronto

  13D ago •

  Petry picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs. Both helpers came in the first period as Montreal grabbed a 2-1 lead, but Petry and the rest of the team's blue line wasn't able to contain Toronto's high-flying offense over the final 40 minutes. The veteran defenseman has recorded double-digit goals and 40-plus points in three straight seasons, and he's off to a good start to extend his streak to four at least in the latter category.
