Rotowire

Canadiens' Jayden Struble: Pockets helper in loss
Rotowire
Struble notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Struble was a healthy scratch for the first four games of the year. There's now room for both him and Arber Xhekaj in the lineup while Kaiden Guhle (lower body) is expected to be out for over a month. Struble is a physical and agitating defenseman who has recorded at least 50 PIM and 120 hits in each of his first two seasons despite playing just 56 regular-season games in each year. He doesn't have a high ceiling on offense, but he could improve in that area if he gets consistent ice time.

Canadiens' Jayden Struble: Secures two-year deal
Rotowire
Struble agreed to terms on a two-year, $2.825 million contract with Montreal on Monday.
Struble has played in 56 regular-season games in each of the past two campaigns, registering a combined five goals and 18 assists along the way. With the acquisition of Noah Dobson this offseason, the Canadiens' blue line is somewhat crowded, so it's possible Struble finds himself serving as a healthy scratch more often than not this season.

Canadiens' Jayden Struble: Snags assist in Friday's loss
Rotowire
Struble logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Senators.
Struble snapped a seven-game point drought with the helper. Since Kaiden Guhle returned from a quadriceps injury, Struble has been on the third pairing and has done enough to keep Arber Xhekaj out of the lineup when all Montreal defensemen have been available. Struble is at 13 points, 47 shots on net, 117 hits, 54 blocked shots, 52 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 53 contests this season.

Canadiens' Jayden Struble: Records helper Thursday
Rotowire
Struble notched an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Struble has two helpers over his last four games, as well as a plus-6 rating through nine contests in March. The 23-year-old defenseman remains on the second pairing and doesn't see power-play time, but he's at little risk of losing his place in the lineup since the Canadiens aren't carrying an extra healthy defenseman. Struble is at 10 points through 42 appearances, matching his offensive output from 56 games as a rookie a year ago. He's tacked on 94 hits, 44 blocked shots, 48 PIM and 40 shots on net in 2024-25.

Canadiens' Jayden Struble: Lends assist in overtime loss
Rotowire
Struble posted an assist, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kraken.
Struble ended February with a helper in three straight games, but this was his first point over six outings in March. The 23-year-old defenseman is holding onto a bottom-four role for the Canadiens while Kaiden Guhle (quadriceps) remains out indefinitely. Struble is at nine points, 36 shots on net, 90 hits, 42 blocked shots, 48 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 39 appearances. He's not a big scorer, so his fantasy appeal is limited to deep formats that value his contributions in hits and PIM.

Rotowire
Struble notched an assist, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Senators.

Canadiens' Jayden Struble: Recalled by Montreal
Rotowire
Struble was recalled from AHL Laval on Wednesday.
Struble was sent to the AHL for a conditioning assignment Friday, but he'll rejoin the Canadiens ahead of Thursday's home game against the Wild.

Struble was assigned to AHL Laval on a conditioning assignment Friday.
Struble hasn't appeared in a game for the Canadiens since a win over the Capitals on Jan. 10, but he should have a chance to see some ice time while he's with the AHL club. The 23-year-old will likely rejoin Montreal following a brief stint in the minors.

Canadiens' Jayden Struble: Remains in part-time role
Rotowire
Struble was scratched for the third game in a row in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Stars.
Struble played in the first four games of January, racking up 12 hits and six PIM in a third-pairing role while filling in for David Savard while he battled an upper-body injury. Struble could still push Arber Xhekaj for a spot in the lineup, but neither blueliner offers much outside of physicality. For the season, Struble has five points, 53 hits, 25 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 26 appearances.

Rotowire
Struble scored a goal and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.
Struble has scored in back-to-back games. The 23-year-old defenseman hasn't lost his place in the lineup since joining Oct. 19, holding down a limited third-pairing role for much of the last month. He's at five points, 21 shots on net, 29 hits, 16 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 16 appearances. There's a little sandpaper in his game for fantasy managers to take advantage of if he can generate somewhat consistent offense.
