  14D ago •

  Edmundson had an assist, two shots on net, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Edmonton. The Canadiens hadn't played in over a week, but they showed no signs of a layoff. They attacked early, had more energy than the Oilers, and got pucks to the net. Edmundson fired a shot from the point that generated a rebound and a couple of whacks from Paul Byron and Artturi Lehkonen, who deposited a backhander early in the first period. It was Montreal's second goal in the first 3:23 of the game. Edmundson, not known for his offense, has points in two straight contests and five over the last eight. The plus-3 raises him to a season-high plus-27 for the season.

  Edmundson scored a goal on three shots and had two blocks in a 5-4 shootout win over the Canucks on Saturday. Edmundson's long wrist shot through a mess of bodies found its way past Vancouver netminder Braden Holtby, giving the Canadiens a 3-2 lead late in the second period. It was just the second goal of the year for Edmundson, but he has managed to pick up a point in four of his last seven contests. Edmundson will never be an impactful fantasy asset, but the first-year Hab has been a terrific real-life addition for Montreal, logging a team-leading plus-24 rating to go with his nine points.
