Canadiens' David Savard: Ends point drought with assist
Savard logged an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
Savard had gone 14 games without a point following his return from an upper-body injury. He snapped the drought on offense with a primary helper on Christian Dvorak's second-period tally. Savard won't put up a lot of offense, instead serving as a shutdown defenseman in a bottom-four role this season. He's at 11 points, 122 blocked shots, 39 hits, 35 shots on net, 26 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 50 appearances.

Canadiens' Alex Newhook: Slides power-play helper in loss
Newhook provided a power-play assist in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
Newhook has heated up to begin February, earning a goal and four assists, including three power-play helpers, over his last five games. The forward had just four points in January and has struggled to consistently produce offense throughout the campaign. He's now at 18 points (four on the power play), 74 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-15 rating through 56 appearances in a second-line role.

Canadiens' Mike Matheson: Earns power-play assist in loss
Matheson notched a power-play assist, five shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
Matheson has done well early in February with three points over five contests -- he had just four points over 14 outings in January. The defenseman is now at 25 points (10 on the power play), 104 shots on net, 103 blocked shots, 41 hits, 43 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 54 appearances. Matheson continues to play heavy minutes, but the emergence of Lane Hutson as an offensive force on the blue line has left Matheson to handle a more defensive workload.

Canadiens' Juraj Slafkovsky: Manages assist in loss
Slafkovsky notched an assist in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
Slafkovsky was good in January with eight points over 14 outings, but he turned cold to begin February on a four-game drought. He was able to snap the slump Sunday when he helped out on a Christian Dvorak tally in the second period. Slafkovsky is up to 30 points, 71 shots on net, 121 hits and a minus-10 rating over 53 appearances. He is on pace to fall short of the 20-goal and 50-point marks he achieved in 2023-24, making this a disappointing third campaign for the No. 1 pick from 2022.

Canadiens' Christian Dvorak: Deposits goal in loss
Dvorak scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
Dvorak has two goals over five outings in February, putting him one point shy of matching his output from all of January (14 games). For the season, the defensive forward has six goals, 17 points, 70 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 27 hits and a minus-14 rating over 56 appearances. He should be able to get back to the 20-point mark after injuries prevented him from doing so in 2023-24, but his offense is too low to help in most fantasy formats.

Canadiens' Brendan Gallagher: Pots pair of goals Sunday
Gallagher scored twice on three shots and added two hits in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
Gallagher's first goal came on the power play. The winger has four goals and two assists over his last 11 outings while filling a bottom-six role for the Canadiens, though he also features on the second power-play unit. For the season, the 32-year-old is at 14 goals, 23 points, 104 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-13 rating over 56 appearances.

Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Takes loss in relief outing
Montembeault stopped 11 of 12 shots in relief of Jakub Dobes in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
Montembeault was called on early in the second period when the Canadiens fell behind 3-1. Because the Canadiens were able to match the three goals Dobes gave up, Montembeault ended up holding the loss after giving up the decisive tally to Zemgus Girgensons in the second period -- the Lightning also added an empty-netter in the third. Montembeault dropped to 18-21-3 with a 3.00 GAA and an .897 save percentage over a career-high 42 appearances. He's on Team Canada's roster for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off, but it's unclear who of Montembeault, Jordan Binnington or Adin Hill will handle the bulk of the workload during the tournament.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Spared loss after quick hook
Dobes gave up three goals on eight shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
Dobes was pulled for Sam Montembeault after giving up a goal to Brayden Point early in the second period. The Canadiens managed to cover the damage Dobes did, sparing him the loss despite his poor performance. He's still winless in his last four outings with 15 goals allowed in that span after opening his career with five straight wins. Dobes is at 5-2-1 with a 2.71 GAA and a .908 save percentage through nine appearances. While his hot start earned him some attention, he should be treated like any other backup goalie on a bad team for fantasy purposes.

Canadiens' Logan Mailloux: Loaned to AHL affiliate
Mailloux was reassigned to AHL Laval on Sunday.
Mailloux was a healthy scratch in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning. He has two goals, two assists, 10 shots on net, eight blocked shots and nine hits in seven NHL outings this season. He might return after the 4 Nations Face-Off break to be a depth option for the Canadiens.

Canadiens' Owen Beck: Dropped to AHL
Beck was assigned to AHL Laval on Sunday.
Beck had two shots on goal in 10:01 of ice time in Sunday's 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay. He hasn't earned a point in six NHL outings this season but could return to the big club after the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off.

Canadiens' Michael Pezzetta: Still battling for spot in lineup
Pezzetta has been scratched in four of the Canadiens' last five games after sitting out Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Devils.
With Owen Beck up from AHL Laval, Pezzetta is once again mainly in the press box. Even when he plays, Pezzetta gets minimal ice time -- he's averaging just 5:37 per game this season. He's failed to record a point while logging only seven shots on net, 36 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-4 rating. The Canadiens don't seem intent on waiving him, but a path to significant ice time isn't open. Pezzetta is best left on the waiver wire in virtually all fantasy formats.

Canadiens' Arber Xhekaj: Registers six shots Saturday
Xhekaj had a game-high six shots on goal in Saturday's 4-0 loss to New Jersey.
In Saturday's shutout loss, Xhekaj added one hit and one blocked shot in 19:47 of ice time. He hasn't earned a point in 23 straight games. Xhekaj has one goal, four assists, 57 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and a team-high 135 hits through 52 appearances this season.

Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Allows four goals in defeat
Montembeault surrendered four goals on 22 shots in a 4-0 loss to the Devils on Saturday.
The Canadiens outshot New Jersey by a 34-22 margin, but Jake Allen was perfect for the Devils. Montembeault has lost four of his last five outings, allowing three goals or more in each game. His record drops to 18-20-3 with a 3.02 GAA and an .896 save percentage through 41 appearances this season.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Facing Lightning on Sunday
Dobes will patrol the home crease versus Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Sam Montembeault will start against the Devils on Saturday, leaving Sunday's start to Dobes. Dobes has struggled in his last three starts, going 0-2-1 and allowing 12 goals on 106 shots (.887 save percentage). Dobes won his first five starts in the NHL and is 5-2-1 with a 2.45 GAA and a .917 save percentage. The Lightning could give Dobes all sorts of problems as Tampa Bay is generating 3.49 goals per game, third in the NHL this season.

Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Between pipes against Devils
Montembeault will tend the twine at home versus New Jersey on Saturday.
Montembeault has given up three or more goals in each of his last four outings, posting a 1-3-0 record and .892 save percentage. Heading into the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, the Habs will roll with Montembeault on Saturday before Jakub Dobes gets the nod at home versus the Lightning on Sunday.

Canadiens' Alex Newhook: Bags apple Wednesday
Newhook managed an assist in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.
Newhook has four points over three outings in February, matching his production from all of January. The 24-year-old has found some success on a new-look second line featuring Kirby Dach and Josh Anderson. Newhook is at 17 points, 73 shots on net, 59 hits and a minus-13 rating through 54 appearances. He'll need to show success on offense over a longer span to generate fantasy interest.
