Canadiens' Mike Matheson: Helps out in win
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.

Canadiens' Mike Matheson: Works with coach on PP
Matheson worked with head coach Martin St. Louis on a whiteboard following Tuesday's practice, going over situations and how the club's top power-play unit should adapt to those situations, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.
Matheson is once again expected to quarterback the Canadiens' top power-play unit and is coming off a career year in 2023-24, during which he finished eighth among defensemen with a career-high 28 power-play points. The Habs need to improve in this area -- Montreal ranked 27th in efficiency last season -- and the club was abysmal during the preseason, going 0-for-30 with the man advantage. The 30-year-old blueliner may eventually look over his shoulder at rookie Lane Hutson, who will quarterback the second power-play unit, but Matheson will be the dominant defenseman on that special-teams group to start the 2024-25 season.
