Evans scored a goal on two shots and assisted on another in Monday's 5-4 loss to Columbus. He also had one hit. Evans accepted a feed from Emil Heineman, split the defense and beat Jet Greaves to the glove-side that tied the game at 3-3 in the second period. He later assisted on a Joel Armia tally in the third that gave Montreal its first and only lead of the game. The Canadiens' fourth line has been hot of late, with Evans leading the charge -- he has points in four consecutive games including goals in the last three. His 21 points (eight goals, 13 assists) through 34 outings puts Evans on track to break his career-high 29 points over 72 games played in 2021-22.

Evans scored a shorthanded goal on two shots, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-3 in Friday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings. Evans was involved in both of the Canadiens' goals in the first period. He's collected a career-high three shorthanded points already this season as he continues to show his value as a penalty killer and defensive forward. The 28-year-old has two goals and five helpers over nine outings in December, giving him a total of six goals, 18 points, 26 shots on net, 45 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 32 appearances this season.

Evans registered an assist in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Sabres. Evans helped out on Joel Armia's goal 19 seconds into the game, which set the tone for the Canadiens' blowout win. Over eight outings in December, Evans has contributed a goal and four assists. He remains in a bottom-six role but often plays more than that assignment would suggest. He's at 16 points, 24 shots on net, 43 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 31 appearances, putting him on pace to shatter his career high of 29 points from 2021-22.

Evans had an assist and two hits in Thursday's 9-2 loss to Pittsburgh. Evans was removed from Montreal's previous game late in the contest after a collision with Anaheim's Mason McTavish, per Stu Cowan of the Montreal Gazette. Evans needed a few days of therapy to get ready to go Thursday. He smartly took advantage of a Pittsburgh line change in the second period to lead a 3-on-2 rush that resulted in a Joel Armia goal. Evans is up to five goals and 10 assists through 29 outings, a pace that will smash the career-high 13-16-29 line he posted in 2021-22.
