Canadiens' Mike Matheson: Playing against Bruins
Matheson (lower body) will return to the lineup versus Boston on Thursday.
Matheson will be back in action for the first time since Oct. 27 versus the Blues, a stretch of six games on the shelf due to his lower-body injury. In eight outings this year, the veteran defenseman has notched one goal and three assists. Without a significant power-play role, Matheson will be hard-pressed to reach the 40-point threshold, a mark he hasn't reached since 2023-24.

Canadiens' Kaapo Kahkonen: Earns shutout for Laval
Kahkonen recorded a 31-save shutout in AHL Laval's 5-0 win over Syracuse on Wednesday.
Kahkonen is up to a 6-2-0 record with a 1.99 GAA and a .919 save percentage over his first eight games this season. While he's playing well for Laval, Kahkonen's chances of getting to the NHL are minimal as long as Jacob Fowler and Jakub Dobes are healthy.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Nets lone goal in loss
Suzuki scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Wild.
Suzuki scored with 1:38 left in the third period to force the extra session. The star center has four points over three games since he returned from a six-game absence due to a hand injury, the first missed appearances of his career. Suzuki is at seven goals, nine assists, 34 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-10 rating over 12 contests. The 27-year-old topped the 100-point mark for the first time in 2025-26, and even with a little missed time this year, he could still challenge that threshold again.

Canadiens' Mike Matheson: Slated to travel with team
Matheson (lower body) will travel with the Canadiens ahead of Thursday's road game against Boston, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Matheson has been sidelined since late October due to his lower-body injury, and he was expected to miss approximately two weeks. He was a full participant in Tuesday's morning skate, and although he was held out for the Canadiens' matchup against the Wild, he could return to action a few days later. The 32-year-old has recorded a goal, three assists, 13 blocked shots, six PIM and five hits while averaging 23:45 of ice time across eight appearances to begin the regular season.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Drawing start Thursday
Fowler will start Thursday's road game against Boston, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports.
Following a seven-game winning streak to close out October, Fowler has been slightly more inconsistent in early November, going 1-0-2 with a 2.94 GAA and .909 save percentage across his three outings to begin the month. However, he's slated to draw a third consecutive start Thursday in what will be a tough matchup against the Bruins, who rank fifth in the league with 3.72 goals per game this year.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Takes tough loss in OT
Fowler made 22 saves in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Wild.
Fowler put on a goaltending clinic with Jesper Wallstedt through the first two periods, as the two young netminders stopped all 32 shots they faced between them. Bobby Brink finally opened the scoring early in the third after picking Josh Anderson's pocket at the Minnesota blue line for a clear breakaway on Fowler, and there wasn't much the 21-year-old goalie could do on Kirill Kaprizov's game-winner, a power-play tally that came on a one-timer from the faceoff dot. Fowler hasn't been saddled with a regulation loss since Oct. 8, going a remarkable 8-0-2 over his last 10 starts with a 2.05 GAA and .930 save percentage as he locks down the top spot in the Montreal crease.

Canadiens' Jake Evans: Slated to play
Evans (hand) is expected to be in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Wild, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.
Evans was injured during Monday's practice, but it appears that he will be fine to play. The 30-year-old is slated to fill his usual middle-six spot in the lineup.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Facing Wild Tuesday
Fowler will guard the home net in Tuesday's clash against the Wild, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.
Fowler bounced back nicely in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs, where he made 26 saves. Overall, the 21-year-old backstop has been making a case for the Calder Trophy, as he's compiled an 8-1-1 record, a 2.15 GAA and a .925 save percentage across 10 outings this season. He's made the most of his opportunity since being called up from AHL Laval at the start of the season. He's a strong No. 2 goalie option in all fantasy formats moving forward, including Tuesday's matchup against the Maple Leafs.

Canadiens' Jake Evans: Deemed game-time call
Evans (hand) is expected to be a game-time decision for Tuesday's home clash against the Wild, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.
Evans sustained his hand injury during Monday's practice. If the 30-year-old winger can't go, the Canadiens announced that Florian Xhekaj will dress for warm-ups and take Evans' place in the lineup. Prior to suffering the hand injury, Evans posted two goals, six points, a plus-4 rating, 13 shots on net, 14 hits and 10 blocked shots across 17 games this season.

Canadiens' Josh Anderson: Back in action Tuesday
Anderson (personal) will suit up for Tuesday's home clash against the Wild, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.
Anderson was absent from Saturday's lineup due to personal reasons, but he's ready to return Tuesday. The 32-year-old winger has been off to a strong start, posting seven goals, 10 points, 33 shots on net, a plus-8 rating, 34 hits and six blocked shots over 16 appearances this season. Given his successful beginning to the season offensively, he's a decent streaming option in deep fantasy leagues that value banger stats.

Canadiens' Jake Evans: Suffers hand injury
Evans sustained a hand injury during Monday's practice session, per Sportsnet.
Evans could be in danger of missing Tuesday's matchup with the Wild if his injury concern turns out to be something serious. The 30-year-old winger has scored in just one of his 17 games this season, netting twice in that contest, while producing a mere four assists. At this point, Evans may face an uphill battle to reach the 30-point threshold, a mark he reached once in his career during the 2024-25 campaign.

Canadiens' Gleb Pugachyov: Mixed results in first post-draft year
Pugachyov has earned four points over 10 games with Chaika Nizhny Novgorod in the MHL, Russia's junior league, this season.
Pugachyov's offense in the junior ranks is a bit disappointing considering the Canadiens took him 26th overall in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft. That said, he wasn't drafted solely for offense -- his physical play is his calling card. Even with the limited offense, he's made a pair of appearances for Torpedo in the KHL. If his scoring improves over time, Pugachyov could be an effective power forward in a few years, but there's a chance his fantasy ceiling is as a banger-league contributor.

Canadiens' Alexander Zharovsky: Trending up in KHL
Zharovsky has earned 10 points over his last nine games for the KHL's Salavat Yulaev Ufa.
Zharovsky had a modest start to the season, but he's turned up the offense. He's now at 18 points (six goals, 12 assists) through 23 contests on the year. It's still a ways off, but the Canadiens prospect may be able to skip the AHL once he comes to North America, given his success in the KHL over the last two seasons.

Canadiens' Chris Kreider: Warming trend continues
Kreider scored a goal Saturday in a 4-1 victory over the Maple Leafs.
Keider's second-period goal ended up as the winner. He intercepted an errant cross-ice pass by Leafs rookie Gavin McKenna and finished a breakaway with a wrister past Sergei Bobrovsky's right pad. Kreider's overall stat line (three goals, six assists; 20 shots) looks tepid at best. But he has five points (two goals, three assists) and 10 shots in his last five games. There's increasing warmth in his game.

Canadiens' Zachary Bolduc: Quietly taking step forward
Bolduc scored a goal Saturday in a 4-2 victory over Toronto. He had three shots and three hits.
Bolduc's goal on a third-period power play cemented the Habs victory; it ran the score to 4-2 at 12:15 of that frame. It was his first goal in five games and second in his last nine. Bolduc does have 26 hits in 17 games, and his six goals put him in a tie for third on the team list in that category. Right now, he's on pace for a 30-goal, 120-hit season, a rare feat in the NHL.

Canadiens' Alex Newhook: Two goals help set up win
Newhook scored twice Saturday in a 4-2 win over Toronto.
Both goals came in the first period, giving the Habs a 2-0 lead. Newhook is a first-round pick (2019) who has never really stepped into his draft predigree, but he does have a Stanley Cup ring (Colorado, 2021). He has nine points (five goals, four assists) in 17 games this season (17 shots), but four of those goals and one helper have come in his last five games. That's a significant feat for a fourth-line player.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Calder Trophy fave impresses again
Fowler made 26 saves in a 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.
Fowler was perfect until the 6:19 mark of the third period and then allowed two goals in 55 seconds. Cue the trauma of Tuesday's collapse against Winnipeg, but he and the team pulled themselves together for the victory. Fowler is 8-1-1, including 8-0-1 in his past nine games. Braden Holtby was the last rookie goalie age 21 years or younger with a nine-point streak (2010-11) . At this point in the season, Fowler has to be the favorite for the Calder Trophy as best rookie. His 2.15 GAA is seventh in the NHL and most impressively, his .925 save percentage is third overall.
