• Canadiens' Joel Armia: Leaves after receiving headshot

  1H ago •

  Armia left Thursday's game against the Canucks after a headshot from Tyler Myers, Thomas Drance of The Athletic Vancouver reports. The play occurred late in the third period with the Canadiens already ahead 6-3. Myers received a match penalty, while Armia went immediately to the locker room, likely to undergo concussion protocols. Armia was having the best game of his career before the hit -- he scored twice and assisted on both of Tyler Toffoli's goals in the contest. The four-point effort was the first of Armia's career, but the greater concern for the 27-year-old is his health. An update on his status should be available prior to Saturday's third straight game versus the Canucks.

• Canadiens' Joel Armia: Gathers helper in shootout loss

  23H ago •

  Armia posted an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Canucks. The assist was Armia's first point in four outings this year. It's been a tough readjustment to bottom-six duty for the Finn, who enjoyed all-situations usage and 17:14 of ice time per game last year. With the slow start, Armia will be a long-shot to match the 30 points in 58 games he had in 2019-20. He's produced seven hits, four shots and a plus-3 rating this season.

• Canadiens' Joel Armia: Quiet start to season

  5D ago •

  Armia recorded his first two shots of the season in Saturday's 5-1 win over Edmonton. Armia is off to a quiet start with just two shots and four hits over the first two contests. He's lined up with center Jesperi Kotkaniemi and the newly acquired Tyler Toffoli on Montreal's third line. He has yet to appear on the power play after averaging 2:01 with a man advantage in 2019-20, so he may be hard pressed to match last season's career-high 16 goals and 30 points.

  Armia recorded two assists in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Flyers in Game 6. Armia had an interesting playoff run -- he began with five scoreless outings in a bottom-six role. In his next five games, he scored three goals and added two helpers. The Finn added 27 shots on goal, a plus-5 rating and 10 hits. After reaching the 30-point mark for the first time in his career during the 2019-20 regular season, Armia seems poised to challenge for a top-six role next year.
