Canadiens' Jayden Struble: Snaps slump with helper
Struble logged an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
Struble had gone 11 games without a point, and he missed one contest due to an upper-body injury and another as a healthy scratch in that span. The 24-year-old defenseman is firmly in a third-pairing role when he plays, though he looks to have a little more security than either of Arber Xhekaj or Adam Engstrom at this time. Struble is at five helpers, 11 shots on net, 46 hits, 15 blocked shots, 34 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 26 appearances.

Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Two more assists in Sunday's win
Hutson logged two power-play assists in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
Hutson has posted three straight two-assist performances. The 21-year-old defenseman had just four multi-point efforts in his first 29 games of the year, so this is a notable uptick in production. Overall, he's earned 28 points (five goals, 23 assists) with 54 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 32 appearances. Just nine of his points have come on the power play, so Hutson could still find another level on offense.

Canadiens' Juraj Slafkovsky: Supplies two power-play helpers
Slafkovsky notched two power-play assists, three shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
Slafkovsky has gone six games without a goal, but he has five helpers in that span. Three of those assists have come with the man advantage, which is where he set up goals by Ivan Demidov and Nick Suzuki in Sunday's win. Slafkovsky is up to 20 points (11 on the power play) while adding 63 shots, 56 hits, 29 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 32 appearances. He's firmly in a top-six role, but he still needs to elevate his even-strength offense a bit.

Canadiens' Joe Veleno: Scores in Sunday's win
Veleno scored a goal and added five hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
Veleno got on the scoresheet for the second game in a row. That follows a stretch of 10 games without a point. The 25-year-old forward will likely remain limited in his scoring potential in a bottom-six role -- he's most often been on the fourth line this year. He's at three points, 24 shots on net, 63 hits, 18 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 27 appearances so far.

Canadiens' Alexandre Texier: Pots goal in win
Texier scored a goal on five shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
Texier has earned three points over his last three games and looks to be settling into a bottom-six role with the Canadiens. He's earned five points over 10 outings since he was signed following his contract termination with the Blues. Overall, the 26-year-old is at six points, 20 shots on net, 16 hits and a minus-1 rating over 18 appearances this season.

Canadiens' Ivan Demidov: Opens scoring on power play
Demidov scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
Demidov ended a seven-game goal drought with the second-period tally. He still had five assists in that span, so the rookie winger has found ways to stay productive even when his shot isn't dialed in. For the season, the 20-year-old is up to seven goals, 25 points (nine on the power play), 40 shots on net, 16 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 32 appearances.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Pots power-play goal
Suzuki scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
Suzuki ended a six-game goal drought with his third-period tally. Over the last 13 games, he's been held off the scoresheet just once, racking up five goals and 11 helpers, with nine of those points coming on the power play. The steady center is up to nine goals, 37 points (18 on the power play), 68 shots on net, 25 hits, 28 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 32 appearances. His 13.2 shooting percentage is his lowest mark in four years, so Suzuki could find the twine a bit more moving forward.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Sharp in Sunday's win
Dobes stopped 27 of 28 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
Dobes had lost his previous two starts before watching two straight games as Jacob Fowler got his first taste of NHL action. The pressure of competition may help Dobes steady his play, especially since Fowler is viewed as the Canadiens' long-term future in goal, something Dobes will want to delay for as long as possible. The 24-year-old Dobes is 11-5-2 with a 3.03 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 18 games. In addition to Fowler, the veteran Sam Montembeault remains in the mix for starts, which could lead to a crowded crease in Montreal for the foreseeable future.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Set to start Sunday
Dobes will defend the home crease Sunday against the Oilers, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.
Dobes has lost his last two outings, conceding a total of seven goals on 32 shots in losses to St. Louis and Tampa Bay. The 24-year-old is 10-5-2 with a 3.15 GAA and an .887 save percentage through 17 appearances this season. With Jacob Fowler now up with the big club and drawing starts, Dobes will need to clean up his game in short order to avoid losing out on playing time.

Canadiens' Joe Veleno: Pockets helper in overtime loss
Veleno logged an assist and four blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.
Veleno saw 15:51 of ice time in this contest, his second-highest total of the season. The 25-year-old also landed on a line with defensive ace Jake Evans, which could lead to more ice time if that duo, plus Brendan Gallagher, stays together. Veleno is not a fantasy option in most formats -- he has just two points with 23 shots on net, 58 hits and a minus-10 rating over 26 outings.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Helps out twice Saturday
Suzuki distributed two assists in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.
Suzuki gave out the primary helper on the team's opening goal by Zachary Bolduc before chipping in on Josh Anderson's tally in the second period. The 26-year-old Suzuki is up to 28 assists, 36 points, 66 shots on goal, 25 hits and 25 points through 31 games this season. Not only does he rank in the league's top 20 in points, but he also has solid category coverage to bolster his fantasy profile. He's on pace for another 70-plus point season, which would be his third straight year hitting that mark.

Canadiens' Josh Anderson: Finds twine in loss
Anderson scored a goal and blocked a shot in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.
Anderson tallied Montreal's lone goal of the second period to give his team a 4-2 lead. With the twine finder, he is up to six goals, nine points, 37 shots on net, 56 hits and 26 blocks through 31 games this season. Anderson has been one of the team's most successful offensive options in the bottom six despite ending a nine-game point drought Saturday. He has solid category coverage but lacks the high-end offensive stats needed to succeed in fantasy.

Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Distributes two helpers Saturday
Hutson recorded two assists and served two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.
Hutson slid the primary helpers on goals by Jake Evans in the opening period and Josh Anderson in the second. With the pair of apples, Hutson has 21 assists on the season, along with 26 points, 53 shots on goal and 49 blocks through 31 games. He is currently tied for eighth in assists among NHL defensemen and is third among all of Montreal's skaters, trailing Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. Hutson hasn't lost a step as one of the league's most exciting young blueliners, giving him high-level value in all point-based fantasy formats moving forward.

Canadiens' Jake Evans: Lights lamp in loss
Evans scored a goal, put two shots on net, served two PIM and dished out three hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.
Evans gave the Canadiens a 3-0 lead in the first period, but the Rangers promptly surged back with two goals of their own prior to the first intermission. The 29-year-old winger is up to five goals, nine points, 34 shots on net, 42 hits and 23 blocks through 30 games this season. He is currently centering the third line and has continued to provide all-around stat coverage. There are likely better options for higher-end scoring in fantasy, but Evans should continue to be a steady source of category coverage when he's in the lineup.

Canadiens' Arber Xhekaj: Nets first goal this season
Xhekaj scored a goal and had three hits during Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.
Xhekaj found the back of the net for Montreal's second goal of the opening period. His twine finder Saturday was his first of the season, to go with 60 hits and 22 blocks through 28 games. The 24-year-old blueliner was due for a point, as he hadn't found the scoresheet since Montreal's second game of the season. He was a healthy scratch twice in the past few weeks, making his goal a reason to keep him in the lineup moving forward. Outside of deep leagues that value banger stats, Xhekaj remains off the fantasy radar.

Canadiens' Zachary Bolduc: Scores opening goal Saturday
Bolduc tallied a goal, had four shots on net, blocked two shots and put out three hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.
Bolduc opened the scoring in Saturday's contest near the 13-minute mark in the first period. The 22-year-old forward is up to seven goals, 14 points, 46 shots on net and 52 hits through 31 games this season. He has struggled to score consistently, with his goal Saturday being the first since he scored in back-to-back contests Nov. 26 and Nov. 28. Despite his role on Montreal's top line, Bolduc's value in fantasy is best served for deep leagues until he can produce points consistently.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: First NHL loss Saturday
Fowler turned aside 23 of 28 shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.
All four goals that Fowler allowed in regulation came during a nine-minute span in the first and second periods. He tended a clean third period before giving up the OT winner to J.T. Miller. Fowler now has a 1-0-1 record with a 3.41 GAA and an .894 save percentage through his first two NHL appearances. With both Jakub Dobes and Sam Montembeault playing inconsistently this season, Fowler should get at least a few more chances to prove that he is ready to compete in the NHL.
