Canadiens' Mike Matheson: Garners assist in shootout loss
Mike Matheson logged an assist, three shots on goal and four blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Penguins.Matheson recently missed two games due to an upper-body injury, and this was his second contest back in the lineup. He's immediately stepped back into a massive role on the top pairing, so it's safe to assume he's close to 100 percent. The defenseman has been a pleasant surprise this season with 17 points, 43 shots on net, 73 blocks, 23 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 34 outings, though he has just three helpers over his last 13 appearances.

Canadiens' Mike Matheson: Remains day-to-day
Mike Matheson (upper body) has been ruled out of Thursday's tilt against Chicago, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports.Matheson also sat out Tuesday's game against Philadelphia. The defenseman has four goals and 12 assists in 32 games this season. He has lost a lot of his fantasy value since Montreal added Noah Dobson via trade in the offseason, as Matheson is averaging only 17 seconds of power-play time this season. He could return as early as Saturday against Pittsburgh.

Canadiens' Mike Matheson: Won't play against Flyers
Mike Matheson will be sidelined for Tuesday's clash with Philadelphia with an upper-body injury, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.Matheson is considered day-to-day, so he may not be out long term. After racking up 62 points in 82 regular-season games back in 2023-24, the veteran blueliner managed a mere 31 points last year and seems closer to that level of production in 2025-26. In his last nine outings, the Quebec native has managed just one point while generating 12 shots and 18 blocks.

Canadiens' Mike Matheson: Notches pair of assists
Mike Matheson produced two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.Matheson has a goal and four helpers over his last three contests. The 31-year-old defenseman set up Noah Dobson's first goal and Josh Anderson's second tally (an empty-netter) in this contest. Matheson continues to exceed expectations in a top-four role this season, which has seen him rack up four goals, 10 helpers, 26 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 16 hits and a plus-12 rating over 21 appearances. That pace puts him closer to his 62-point effort in 2023-24 than his 31-point campaign in the 2024-25 regular season, which is good news for fantasy managers who scooped Matheson off the waiver wire early in the year.

Canadiens' Mike Matheson: Two points against Caps
Mike Matheson delivered a goal and an assist in Thursday's 8-4 loss to Washington.It was Matheson's first multi-point performance since Oct. 9, the second game of the season.

Through 20 games, Matheson has contributed four goals and 12 points -- all at even strength -- while adding 44 blocked shots, 25 shots on net, 15 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-9 rating.

Canadiens' Mike Matheson: Scores in overtime
Mike Matheson scored a goal on three shots, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.Ivan Demidov sent a pass across the top of the crease for Matheson to one-time home at the minute mark of overtime. After his first multi-game point drought of the year, Matheson was able to bang the shot home. He's up to two goals, three assists, 11 shots on net, 11 hits, 18 blocks and a plus-5 rating across eight appearances this season. The 31-year-old could slow down as Lane Hutson and Noah Dobson carry more of the scoring load from the blue line, but Matheson is proving just as capable and should have a good chance for at least 30 points again.

Canadiens' Mike Matheson: Two-point effort against Wings
Mike Matheson scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over Detroit.Both points came in the first period as Montreal grabbed an early 3-1 lead and never looked back. The veteran blueliner saw just 19 seconds on the power play Thursday as offseason addition Noah Dobson has bumped Matheson further down the depth chart when it comes to prime opportunities, but the overall improvement of the Habs' roster could allow him to reach the 30-point mark again after he produced six goals and 31 points in 80 regular-season games last season after getting displaced by the emergence of Lane Hutson.
