Matheson recorded an assist, one shot on net and one block with a plus-3 rating in Monday's 3-0 win over the Oilers. Matheson's harmless-looking shot from the boards was redirected by Brendan Gallagher to give Montreal a 1-0 lead with 29 seconds remaining in the second period. It was the third time in the last four outings that Matheson has made the scoresheet. He's tied for the team lead with 12 assists. Repeating last season's career-high 62 points may be too much to expect, but the blueliner is on pace to reach 50.

Matheson scored his first goal of the season on the power play and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets. The veteran blueliner opened the scoring early in the first period by blasting a one-timer past Daniil Tarasov from the high slot, then helped set up Josh Anderson for the game's final tally late in the third. It's Matheson's first multi-point performance since Oct. 26, and on the season he's accumulated 12 points in 18 contests with 47 blocked shots -- fourth in the NHL behind Chris Tanev, Rasmus Andersson and Brandon Carlo.

Matheson logged a power-play assist and three blocked shots in Monday's 7-5 win over the Sabres. Matheson snapped a five-game slump by helping out on Cole Caufield's game-winning tally in the third period. The 30-year-old Matheson was hot before that dry spell, so he should be able to get his offense back on track. The blueliner is looking for his first goal of the year, but he has 10 assists (six on the power play), 24 shots on net, 27 PIM, 45 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 16 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Matheson had an assist, four shots on net and one block in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Kraken. Matheson entered the zone and found Josh Anderson behind a defender for Montreal's second goal. It was the ninth helper on the season for Matheson, who has points in five consecutive games.

Matheson notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and seven blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Flyers. Matheson has earned five assists during a four-game point streak, and all but one of those helpers has come with the man advantage. The 30-year-old defenseman is doing well to stave off Lane Hutson for a spot on the first power-play unit. Matheson is up to eight assists (five on the power play), 10 shots on net, 27 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a minus-1 rating through nine contests this season.
