Canadiens' Adam Engstrom: Up after AHL explosion
Engstrom has been recalled by the Canadiens from AHL Laval, the team announced Sunday
One day after recording five points for AHL Laval, Engstrom has been brought up to join the NHL club. The 22-year-old has 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 18 games at the AHL level. Should he appear in a game with the Canadiens, it would be the first NHL appearance of his career. Whether that will happen remains to be seen considering Montreal's six defensemen are pretty set at the moment.

Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Moves to IR
Dach (foot) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.
Dach has missed the last three games and could be out until late December. He has five goals, two assists, 22 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 21 hits across 15 appearances this season.

Canadiens' Alexandre Texier: Signs one-year deal
Texier signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Montreal on Sunday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
Texier didn't have to wait long to land with a new team after having the final season of his two-year, $4.2 million contract terminated by the Blues on Sunday. He has earned one assist, seven shots on net, one blocked shot and nine hits across eight appearances this season. Injuries to Kirby Dach (foot), Alex Newhook (ankle) and Patrik Laine (abdomen) should give Texier a chance to earn a regular spot in the lineup with the Canadiens.

Canadiens' Florian Xhekaj: Pockets helper in NHL debut
Xhekaj notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and seven PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Xhekaj, a Hamilton, Ontario native, made his NHL debut Saturday, and his impact was felt instantly. The 21-year-old winger helped out on a Josh Anderson tally in the second period and fought Dakota Mermis in the third. Like his brother Arber, the younger Xhekaj brings a whole bunch of sandpaper to the lineup. Florian saw just 9:48 of ice time in a bottom-six role Saturday, and he'll likely have to compete with Joshua Roy for playing time initially.

Canadiens' Mike Matheson: Notches pair of assists
Matheson produced two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Matheson has a goal and four helpers over his last three contests. The 31-year-old defenseman set up Noah Dobson's first goal and Josh Anderson's second tally (an empty-netter) in this contest. Matheson continues to exceed expectations in a top-four role this season, which has seen him rack up four goals, 10 helpers, 26 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 16 hits and a plus-12 rating over 21 appearances. That pace puts him closer to his 62-point effort in 2023-24 than his 31-point campaign in the 2024-25 regular season, which is good news for fantasy managers who scooped Matheson off the waiver wire early in the year.

Canadiens' Ivan Demidov: Provides two helpers in win
Demidov registered two assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Demidov is stuck in an eight-game goal drought. He's started to warm up with four helpers over his last three games, including one on the power play. The rookie winger is up to four goals, 13 helpers, 24 shots on net, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 21 appearances. Demidov is talented, but his offense has fluctuated enough for him to be tracking behind Islanders blueliner Matthew Schaefer in the Calder Trophy race.

Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Nets goal in win
Hutson scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
The Canadiens dominated the game early, and Hutson was responsible for the opening tally at 12:11 of the first period. The 21-year-old defenseman has two goals and four points over his last three contests. For the season, he's up to 18 points (three goals, 15 helpers), 34 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 21 appearances. It's a slightly better pace than the one that yielded six goals and 60 helpers for Hutson as a rookie in 2024-25, which led to a Calder Trophy win. The best news the Canadiens have gotten this year is the coexistence of two talented puck-moving blueliners in Hutson and Noah Dobson (two goals Saturday) in the team's top four.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Beaten twice Saturday
Dobes stopped 24 of 26 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Dobes was beaten on even strength late in the second period and on the power play in the third. This was a nice bounce-back performance for Dobes, who was on a four-game winless skid (0-2-2) while allowing 16 goals on 89 shots before this performance. Dobes should remain as a backup behind Sam Montembeault, though, so his fantasy upside will remain fairly low until further notice.

Canadiens' Noah Dobson: Nets two goals Saturday
Dobson scored two goals in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Dobson was a huge scoring threat from the blue line, and he found the back of the net late in the first period and early in the second frame. They were his second and third goals of the campaign, and those markers bring him up to 15 points in 21 outings this year. He's bouncing back nicely from his 39 points in 71 outings with the Islanders during the 2024-25 regular season.

Canadiens' Josh Anderson: Scores two goals Saturday
Anderson scored two goals, including an empty-netter, in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.
Anderson did a good job capitalizing on his opportunities, as his two shots in this game found the back of the net. However, don't expect him to be a reliable fantasy contributor, as he holds a bottom-six role in the Canadiens' lineup. Anderson has five goals and eight points in 21 outings this season.

Canadiens' David Reinbacher: Another big game Saturday
Reinbacher scored twice in AHL Laval's 7-2 win over Belleville on Saturday.
Reinbacher posted three goals and an assist over two games versus Belleville on consecutive days. He's already at a career-high seven points in 10 AHL contests, with his past two outings accounting for over half of his offense. Reinbacher will have plenty of time to continue developing in the AHL this year, where he'll be able to play big minutes.

Canadiens' Owen Beck: Three assists in Laval's win
Beck recorded three assists in AHL Laval's 7-2 win over Belleville on Saturday.
Beck has earned both of his multi-point efforts over the last five games, totaling a goal and five assists in that span. For the year, he's at 10 points in 17 appearances. He earned a brief call-up in the NHL in October and went scoreless over two games, but the 21-year-old has plenty of time to grow his game with Laval before challenging for a full-time gig with the Canadiens.

Canadiens' Adam Engstrom: Five-point effort for Laval
Engstrom scored a goal and added four assists in AHL Laval's 7-2 win over Belleville on Saturday.
Engstrom has scored in three straight games, but it was the four assists that made this a magnificent performance for the defenseman. He's now at five goals and 14 points through 18 appearances for Laval in his second AHL campaign. Engstrom is well on his way to improving from his 27-point effort in the 2024-25 regular season, which could make him a call-up option later this year.

Canadiens' Sean Farrell: Three points in AHL win
Farrell scored twice and added an assist in AHL Laval's 7-2 win over Belleville on Saturday.
Farrell doubled his goal count on the year with his pair of tallies. He's found success as a playmaker so far with four goals and 11 assists over 18 games for the Rocket. The 24-year-old forward probably won't be first in line for a call-up should the Canadiens need more depth, but he's set to take a step up from last year's 20-goal, 44-point effort in 67 regular-season games.

Canadiens' Jake Evans: Good to go
Evans (undisclosed) will be in the lineup against Toronto on Saturday, according to Eric Engels of Sportsnet.
Evans left Thursday's 8-4 loss to Washington after receiving a high hit from Tom Wilson. The 29-year-old Evans didn't experience any concussion symptoms and won't miss additional time due to the incident. He has contributed three goals, six points, 24 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and 26 hits in 20 appearances this season.

Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Tending twine Saturday
Dobes will protect the home net against Toronto on Saturday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Dobes has lost his last four outings (0-2-2) while allowing 16 goals on 89 shots. He has a 6-2-2 record with a 2.96 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 10 appearances this season. Toronto ranks fourth in the league with 3.43 goals per game this campaign. However, the Maple Leafs will likely be without integral offensive forwards Auston Matthews (lower body) and Matthew Knies (lower body) in Saturday's contest.

Canadiens' David Reinbacher: One of each in overtime win
Reinbacher scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in AHL Laval's 4-3 overtime win over Belleville on Friday.
Reinbacher earned his first goal and first multi-point effort of the season in this contest. He's at five points over nine games in 2025-26 since he recovered from a broken hand that kept him out of action for over four weeks to begin the season. The 21-year-old blueliner has had a long list of injuries early in his career, and the Canadiens' defense at the NHL level has been a strength, so the team can be patient with his development.

Canadiens' Joshua Roy: Not reassigned after all
Roy was not reassigned to AHL Laval on Friday as previously reported, and he remains with the Canadiens.
Montreal's roster is still compliant, so it appears some wires got crossed in the team's previous announcement. Roy will remain in contention for bottom-six minutes as long as he's with the big club.

Canadiens' Florian Xhekaj: Up from AHL
Xhekaj was summoned from AHL Laval on Friday.
Xhekaj has two goals, four points and 44 PIM in 16 outings with Laval in 2025-26. Joshua Roy was reassigned to the minors in a corresponding move. Xhekaj might take Roy's bottom-six spot in the lineup, which would result in Xhekaj making his NHL debut Saturday against Toronto.
