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.

Canadiens' Logan Sawyer: Pops off in blowout win
Sawyer scored three goals and added an assist in Providence College's 8-1 win over UConn on Saturday.
Sawyer had thrived as a playmaker early in the season, but he showed off a finishing touch Saturday. He's up to four goals and nine assists across eight outings on the year. The Canadiens prospect has taken a clear step up on offense for the second year in a row as he continues his collegiate career.

Canadiens' Josh Anderson: Unavailable Saturday
Anderson (personal) won't play against Toronto on Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Anderson will miss at least one game, but it's unclear when he will be available to return. He has chipped in seven goals, 10 points, 33 shots on net and 34 hits in 16 outings this season. Owen Beck will replace Anderson in Saturday's lineup against the Maple Leafs.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Facing Maple Leafs
Fowler will guard the road net in Saturday's clash against the Maple Leafs, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Fowler will look to shake off Tuesday's historic loss, as the Habs' defense fell apart down the stretch to allow the Jets to steal a 5-4 win in overtime. Thursday's outing was one of the only knocks on an impressive season for Fowler, who has compiled a 7-1-1 record, a 2.17 GAA, two shutouts and a .925 save percentage over nine appearances. He remains a solid fantasy option in all formats given his hot start to the season. Despite the tough matchup, start the 21-year-old netminder with confidence Saturday against the Maple Leafs.

Canadiens' Brett Berard: Scores twice for Laval
Berard scored two goals in AHL Laval's 6-2 win over Cleveland on Friday.
Berard has adjusted well to his new team with six goals and three assists over 13 games. That matches his AHL goal total from 41 regular-season contests with Hartford last year, though his playmaking is way down. Berard will likely have a tough time getting to Montreal even if he continues to play well for the Rocket.

Canadiens' Adam Engstrom: Nets first career goal
Engstrom scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Mammoth.
Engstrom has earned both of his points over his last four outings. The 22-year-old defenseman is getting a run of playing time while Mike Matheson (lower body) is out of the lineup. Through 10 appearances this season, Engstrom has added 11 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a plus-5 rating from a third-pairing role.

Canadiens' Arber Xhekaj: Goal, fight in overtime win
Xhekaj scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and added five PIM in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Mammoth.
Xhekaj has a goal and two assists over his last three games, as well as 12 PIM and six hits. The 25-year-old defenseman has gotten the chance to play regularly on the third pairing this season. He offers plenty of toughness with 30 PIM, 23 hits and 13 blocked shots over 15 outings, but the offense is still a work in progress.

Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Clutch gene on full display
Caufield scored the game-winning goal and added six shots on net, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Mammoth.
This was Caufield's 15th career overtime game-winner, coming in his 384th game. He is the fastest player in NHL history to that milestone, surpassing the 559 games it took Connor McDavid to reach that mark. Caufield is certainly aided by the 3-on-3 overtime factor, but his success in the extra session shows a capability to deliver in big moments. Of course, he's no slouch at other times -- he's at 11 goals, four assists, 54 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 16 appearances this season. That's a pace that would give him a second straight 50-goal campaign if he can maintain it.

Canadiens' Noah Dobson: Picking up scoring pace
Dobson collected two assists in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over Utah.
The veteran blueliner helped set up goals by Nick Suzuki in the first period and Adam Engstrom in the third. Dobson had a sluggish start to the season, but over the last four games he's roared to life with five assists, including his first power-play point. After scoring double-digit goals in each of the last five seasons, however, Dobson's still looking to light the lamp for the first time in 2026-27.

Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Two-point effort in OT win
Hutson notched two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Mammoth.
The star defenseman played a key role in the victory, having a hand in a Kirby Dach tally early in the third period that tied the game at 3-3 before feeding Cole Caufield for the winner just 30 seconds into OT. Hutson has gotten onto the scoresheet in four straight games, and through 16 contests on the season he's delivered three goals and 16 points, including a goal and three assists on the power play.

Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Two points in Thursday's return
Dach scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Mammoth.
After an illness sidelined him for the prior two games, the 25-year-old forward slotted back into the lineup Thursday and quickly proved he was fully healthy, helping to set up Arber Xhekaj for his first goal of the season late in the first period. Dach then bagged his own first tally of 2026-27 when he jammed home a rebound early in the third. It was his first power-play goal in nearly two years, with his last one coming Jan. 23, 2025 against the Red Wings. Through 14 games this season, Dach's contributed five points with 19 hits, 10 shots on net and a plus-0 rating.
