Canadiens' Alexandre Texier: Playing for France
Texier (lower body) will be in the lineup for France against Switzerland on Thursday at the 2026 Olympics.
Texier is the lone NHL player on Team France, and his status was questionable heading into the Olympics, as he had missed the last three games with the injury. Texier has seven goals and 11 assists across 38 NHL games this season, split between Montreal and St. Louis.

Canadiens' Juraj Slafkovsky: Powers Slovak offense in victory
Slafkovsky scored two goals, including one on the power play, and added an assist in Slovakia's 4-1 win over Finland on Wednesday at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
The Canadiens winger carried the Slovakian team offensively to a huge win with his multi-point performance. He opened the scoring with a move around Juuse Saros in the first period at the 7:45 mark, and then gave Slovakia a 3-1 lead with a rocket shot from long range with 9:30 left in the contest. Slafkovsky has nine goals through his first eight Olympic games. Slovakia will face Italy on Friday in the second game of the tournament for both squads.

Canadiens' Alex Belzile: Ends goal drought in Laval win
Belzile scored two goals in AHL Laval's 4-1 win over Cleveland on Saturday.
Belzile had gone 10 games without a goal, earning six assists in that span. With the two-goal effort, he's at 21 tallies, 20 assists and a plus-18 rating over 44 appearances this season. Belzile continues to fill an AHL veteran role, and he hasn't gotten a call-up yet in 2025-26.

Canadiens' Florian Xhekaj: Posts three points Friday
Xhekaj scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Laval's 5-4 overtime win over Cleveland on Friday.
Xhekaj ended a six-game dry spell with the performance. He's done alright this season with 18 points over 41 appearances at the AHL level, though that's not particularly close to his 24-goal, 35-point effort over 69 regular-season games a year ago. Xhekaj got his first look with the Canadiens in late November, but he's unlikely to be anything more than a bottom-six option if he gets another call-up.

Canadiens' Joshua Roy: Tallies twice for Laval
Roy scored two goals in AHL Laval's 5-4 overtime win over Cleveland on Friday.
Roy ended a five-game goal drought with the effort, which was his first multi-point outing since Dec. 28. He's up to 11 goals, 23 points, 92 shots on net and a minus-7 rating over 32 appearances this season. He's been a fine scorer at the AHL level, but that has yet to translate to the NHL in limited action over the last three campaigns.

Canadiens' Phillip Danault: Deposits shorthanded empty-netter
Danault scored a shorthanded empty-net goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Jets.
Danault's three goals this season have all come within the last eight games. The 32-year-old looks comfortable in a bottom-six role for the Canadiens. He's earned nine points in 21 outings since he was dealt away from the Kings, and the center has a total of 14 goals, 73 shots on net, 40 hits, 29 blocked shots and 20 PIM over 51 appearances this season.

Canadiens' Oliver Kapanen: Nets equalizer
Kapanen scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Jets.
Kapanen has two goals and two assists over his last four games. The 22-year-old has impressed as a rookie with 18 goals, 31 points, 102 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 21 hits and a plus-5 rating in 57 appearances. He'll be in Italy for the Olympics as a member of Team Finland.

Hutson has a goal and four assists during his four-game point streak. The 21-year-old defenseman reached the 10-goal mark for the season with this tally. He's added 48 assists, 16 power-play points, 91 shots on net, 90 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-22 rating over 57 appearances. Hutson has quickly established himself as one of the top fantasy blueliners in the league in his two NHL seasons.

Canadiens' Noah Dobson: Two-point effort Wednesday
Dobson delivered two assists in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Jets.
The former Islander helped set up the Canadiens' first and last goals of the night. Dobson heads into the Olympic break riding a five-game point streak in which he's produced a goal and seven points, and through his first 57 games with Montreal he's racked up 10 goals, 38 points, 139 blocked shots, 114 shots on net, 39 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-12 rating.

Canadiens' Brendan Gallagher: Three points against Jets
Gallagher scored a power-play goal and added two even-strength assists in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Winnipeg.
The 33--year-old winger had a hand in three straight goals by the Habs, wrapping up his big night with his second power-play tally of the season midway through the third period. Gallagher is no longer much of an offensive threat and has settled into a bottom-six role, putting up six goals and 19 points through 57 games so far in 2025-26.

Canadiens' Josh Anderson: Three-point effort in win
Anderson scored the game-winning goal and added two assists in Wednesday's 5-1 victory over the Jets.
The rugged winger gave the Habs a 2-1 lead early in the second period by tipping home a point shot by Jayden Struble. The GWG was Anderson's first of the season, and the three-point performance was also a season best. He heads into the Olympic break with 12 goals, 20 points, 95 hits, 63 shots on net, 44 PIM, 30 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 51 games.

Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Sharp in Wednesday's win
Montembeault made 36 saves in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Jets.
Kyle Connor scored a power-play tally early in the first period, but Montembeault shut the door the rest of the way as the Canadiens took control. The 29-year-old netminder is likely looking forward to the Olympic break, having gone 2-2-1 over his last five starts with a 3.20 GAA and .893 save percentage.

Canadiens' Alexandre Texier: Out again Wednesday
Texier (lower body) won't suit up Wednesday versus the Jets.
Texier will be out of the lineup for the third straight game heading into the Olympic break. The 26-year-old's status hasn't been updated since he was ruled out of Saturday's game against the Sabres, when he was initially labeled day-to-day.

Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Between pipes versus Jets
Montembeault will tend the twine on the road against Winnipeg on Wednesday.

Blais was placed on waivers Tuesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Canadiens' Alexis Cournoyer: Honored by conference again
Cournoyer earned ECAC Rookie of the Week honors Monday.
Cournoyer has been excellent for Cornell University this season. He's been named the ECAC's Rookie of the Week three times in 2025-26, as well as one honor as Goalie of the Week. For the season, he is 13-4-0 with a 1.84 GAA and a .923 save percentage in 17 appearances. It'll be a while before he's an option for the Canadiens, but he's looking like a good fifth-round pick after being taken 145th overall in 2025.

Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Pots goal in loss
Dach scored a goal and recorded four shots on net in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to Minnesota.
Dach struck the back of the net for Montreal's third goal of the night to give them a 3-2 lead before the Wild forced overtime. With the twine finder, the 25-year-old forward is up to seven goals, 11 points, 32 shots on net, 28 hits and 21 blocked shots across 22 games this season. Despite a foot injury keeping him out of the lineup for nearly two months, Dach has provided steady scoring when he's been healthy. He currently has a three-game point streak, and his strong all-around numbers make him a solid streaming option in deep fantasy leagues that value category coverage.

Canadiens' Ivan Demidov: Finds twine Monday
Demidov scored a goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.
Demidov tallied the second consecutive goal for the Canadiens to tie Monday's contest at two apiece late in the second period. With the twine finder, he is up to 12 goals, 46 points and 81 shots on net across 56 outings this season. The 20-year-old winger has 10 points across his last 11 games, which has kept him firmly in the conversation for this season's Calder Trophy. Regardless, his rookie campaign has been highlighted by exceptional offense, which has helped keep the Habs in a playoff spot in a competitive Atlantic Division.
