Canadiens' Alex Newhook: Gathers assist Sunday
Newhook notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Predators.
Newhook ended a five-game slump with the helper. The 24-year-old has five points over 18 contests since the start of March -- that production doesn't really line up with his second-line role. Newhook is up to 25 points, 112 shots on net, 83 hits and a minus-20 rating over 77 appearances this season. Without more consistency on offense, his fantasy value is limited to deep formats.

Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Manages helper in win
Hutson logged an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Predators.
Hutson set up Patrik Laine for a goal at 5:47 of the second period, which ended up being the game-winner. With 11 points over his last eight contests -- only two of which were on the power play -- Hutson is stepping up in a big moment for the Canadiens. The top-four blueliner has 64 points (six goals, 58 assists), 86 shots on net, 119 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 77 appearances as a rookie.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Point streak up to five games
Suzuki notched an assist in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Predators.
This was Suzuki's first game with a single point during his five-game point streak, a span in which he has five goals and five assists. The 25-year-old center has 32 points in 21 outings since the 4 Nations Face-Off break -- perhaps he was motivated by not being named to Team Canada's tournament roster. Suzuki has put the Canadiens on his back lately, and they're now up six points on the Rangers and the Red Wings for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Suzuki is at 27 goals, 57 assists, 161 shots on net, 67 blocked shots, 58 hits and a plus-17 rating through 77 appearances.

Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Hits 20-goal mark with game-winner
Laine scored a goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Predators.
Laine is a 20-goal scorer for the seventh time in his career, with the last three instances coming in seasons heavily impacted by injuries. This was a rare even-strength tally for the winger -- 15 of his goals have been on the power play this season. He's up to 33 points, 106 shots on net and a minus-12 rating across 47 appearances.

Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Nets equalizer Sunday
Caufield scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Predators.
Caufield has two goals and an assist over four contests in April. The 24-year-old continues to be a steady scorer in a top-line role, though he's gone 11 games without a multi-point effort. He's set a career high with 66 points (36 goals, 30 helpers) through 77 outings while adding 227 shots on net, 65 hits and a plus-9 rating this season.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Holds firm in win
Dobes stopped 36 of 37 shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Predators.
Dobes started for the first time in six games and won for the first time since March 1. He allowed an early goal to Steven Stamkos at 4:19 of the first period but closed the door the rest of the way to help the Canadiens get a fifth straight win as they strengthen their grip on the Eastern Conference's second wild-card spot. For the season, Dobes is 7-4-2 with a 2.87 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 15 games. Sam Montembeault is likely to start twice over the next week, but Dobes should get a game either Friday in Ottawa or Saturday in Toronto in the Canadiens' final back-to-back set of the season.

Canadiens' Josh Anderson: Set to return against Nashville
Anderson (personal) was on the ice for warmups ahead of Sunday's game against the Predators, Patrick Friolet of RDS reports.
Anderson missed Saturday's game against Philadelphia due to the birth of his first child, but it appears as though he'll be back in action for the second half of the back-to-back set. Anderson has recorded points in three of his last five appearances, racking up two goals, an assist, 10 hits, a blocked shot and six PIM while averaging 14:57 of ice time across that span.

Canadiens' David Savard: Ruled out for Sunday's game
Savard has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Nashville for an undisclosed reason.
While the reason for Savard's absence isn't yet clear, he's considered day-to-day. Sunday's absence will be Savard's first since mid-January, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Arber Xhekaj enter the lineup in his place.

Canadiens' Emil Heineman: Won't play Sunday
Heineman has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Predators due to an undisclosed injury.
While the nature of Heineman's ailment isn't yet clear, he's considered day-to-day and will be unavailable for the first time since the 4 Nations Face-Off. It seems likely that Joshua Roy will enter the lineup against the Predators, especially if Josh Anderson (personal) remains sidelined.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Slated to start against Nashville
Dobes led the Canadiens onto the ice for Sunday's warmups, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports, indicating that Dobes will draw the road start against Nashville.
Dobes hasn't appeared in any of the Canadiens' last five games, but he'll draw the start in the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday. Over five appearances since the start of March, he's gone 1-2-1 with a 3.69 GAA and .874 save percentage.

Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Nets go-ahead goal in win
Hutson scored a goal and blocked three shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.
Hutson has racked up two goals and 12 assists over his last 12 contests. He gave the Canadiens a 2-1 lead in the second period of Saturday's contest. Hutson leads all NHL rookies with 63 points (six goals, 57 assists), and he's earned 25 power-play points. His recent momentum is impressive, and it's linked with the Canadiens' push to take the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, which they currently have by a four-point margin over the Rangers. Hutson is definitely in the conversation for the Calder Trophy and continues to handle a top-four role pretty well at age 21.

Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Earns win over Philly
Montembeault stopped 21 of 23 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.
Montembeault was beaten in the early stages of the first period and with only 40 seconds left in the game, but he still found a way to win thanks to three Montreal goals in between. This was his fourth straight victory, and he has allowed two goals or fewer in each of those contests. The 28-year-old netminder has started in all but one of Montreal's last 11 games and has helped the team's playoff push with a 6-2-2 record and 2.71 GAA despite a lackluster .896 save percentage.

Canadiens' Brendan Gallagher: Nets 20th goal of season
Gallagher scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.
Gallagher evened things up for the Canadiens just 1:24 into the third period with the first of Montreal's three goals in a 10-minute span. The goal was Gallagher's 20th of the season. He has five 20-goal campaigns in his career, but this is Gallagher's first such season since 2019-20, when he netted 22 goals.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Another multi-point effort
Suzuki recorded a shorthanded goal and an even-strength assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.
This was Suzuki's fourth consecutive multi-point effort, and the star center came through when Montreal needed him the most. He assisted on Lane Hutson's go-ahead goal in the early stages of the third period, and Suzuki's shorthanded goal midway through the final frame wound up being the game-winner. Suzuki has fueled Montreal's playoff push with nine points over his last four appearances. He has already established a new career high in points with 83 this season, but he's still six goals shy of last season's career-best 33.

Canadiens' Josh Anderson: Unavailable Saturday
Anderson (personal) won't play against Philadelphia on Saturday, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.
Anderson will miss at least one game because his wife is due to give birth to their first child. He has accounted for 14 goals, 25 points, 101 shots on net, 160 hits and 82 PIM in 75 appearances this season. Oliver Kapanen will replace Anderson in Saturday's lineup.

Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Starting Saturday
Montembeault will defend the home crease versus Philadelphia on Saturday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Montembeault has won three straight games, allowing five goals on 72 shots (.931 save percentage) in a pair of victories over Florida and one against Boston. He is 28-23-6 with a 2.86 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 57 appearances this season. Philadelphia has generated 2.79 goals per game, 24th in the league in 2024-25.
