Canadiens' Jayden Struble: Pockets helper in loss
Struble notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Struble was a healthy scratch for the first four games of the year. There's now room for both him and Arber Xhekaj in the lineup while Kaiden Guhle (lower body) is expected to be out for over a month. Struble is a physical and agitating defenseman who has recorded at least 50 PIM and 120 hits in each of his first two seasons despite playing just 56 regular-season games in each year. He doesn't have a high ceiling on offense, but he could improve in that area if he gets consistent ice time.

Canadiens' Josh Anderson: Records assist Saturday
Anderson notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Anderson has started 2025-26 in a middle-six role, but he has yet to make much of an impact on offense. His helper Saturday was his first point of the campaign, and he's added six shots on net, nine hits, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. Anderson has missed the 30-point mark in consecutive seasons, and his mainly defensive usage means that threshold is likely his ceiling for scoring.

Canadiens' Juraj Slafkovsky: Buries goal Saturday
Slafkovsky scored a goal and recorded three hits in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Slafkovsky notched his second goal of the campaign at the 1:33 mark of the first period with a snap shot from point-blank range after an impressive effort from Cole Caufield. Slafkovsky hasn't done much in terms of fantasy since he's tallied only two goals and 13 shots through six appearances. However, he should continue to find opportunities to produce as a top-six forward and a member of the top power-play unit.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Nets first goal of season
Suzuki scored a power-play goal and took two shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Suzuki finally opened his goal-scoring account this season, giving the Canadiens a transitory 2-0 lead in the early stages of the first period with a snap shot on the power play, but he also kept his impressive point streak alive. He's cracked the scoresheet in each of the Canadiens' last five games, tallying one goal, seven assists, a plus-7 rating, 10 shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots over that productive stretch.

Canadiens' Noah Dobson: Pots first goal of season
Dobson scored a goal, took three shots, recorded a hit and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Dobson finally found the twine for the first time this season, and he had been pushing for his first goal, as this was the third time over his last four games in which he's recorded multiple shots. Dobson is up to three points across six games this season, and he should continue to find opportunities to produce given his consistent involvement -- he owns a steady top-pairing role while also being a regular fixture on the power play.

Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Subpar showing Saturday
Montembeault stopped 18 of 22 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Montembeault has endured a rough start to the season and delivered another woeful showing in this contest. He's given up exactly four goals in his last two starts, but perhaps even more worrisome is that he's posted a save percentage below the .900 mark in three of his four starts to date. Through four contests, the 28-year-old netminder has gone 2-2-0 with a 3.26 GAA and a disappointing .857 save percentage.

Canadiens' Lucas Condotta: Earns two points for Rocket
Condotta scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in AHL Laval's 5-2 win over Abbotsford on Saturday.
Condotta is captaining the Rocket this year, which speaks to his status as a minor-league veteran. He's on a two-way deal with the Canadiens and could be a candidate for a call-up if they want to add experience at the NHL level, though younger players like Joshua Roy or Filip Mesar offer more upside. Condotta's two-point effort Saturday was his first scoring performance of the season.

Canadiens' Bryce Pickford: Earns two points Saturday
Pickford scored a goal on eight shots and added an assist in WHL Medicine Hat's 5-4 loss to Victoria on Saturday.
Pickford's second year with the Tigers is off to a strong start. The defenseman has seven goals and four assists over 10 games, playing at a similar pace to last year when he logged 20 goals and 47 points over 48 regular-season outings. The Canadiens selected the 19-year-old blueliner in the third round of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. He'll be eligible to play in the AHL in 2026-27, but he'll need to sign an entry-level deal first. However, he could also opt to make the jump to the NCAA.

Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Defending crease Saturday
Montembeault will be between the pipes for Saturday's home matchup against the Rangers, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Montembeault stopped 18 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over Seattle. He has a 2-1-0 record this season while making 60 saves on 69 shots. Despite plenty of chances, it's been a struggle for the Rangers to score early in the 2025-26 campaign. The team has lit the lamp only 11 times through six outings.

Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Out of action Saturday
Laine (lower body) will not play at home versus the Rangers on Saturday.
It has not been a good start to the season for Laine as he has only one assist and six shots on goal in the first five games. He was demoted to the second power-play unit and was seeing fourth-line ice time before the injury. The Canadiens recalled Owen Beck from AHL Laval to take Laine's spot in the lineup. The 27-year-old Laine is day-to-day, but it's unclear if he will be ready for Tuesday's game against Buffalo.

Canadiens' Kirby Dach: Not playing Saturday
Dach (lower body) won't play Saturday against the Rangers.
Dach has one goal, one assist and six shots on goal through five games this season. He is day-to-day, so there's a possibility of returning as early as Tuesday against the Sabres. Joe Veleno will replace Dach in Saturday's lineup versus the Rangers.

Canadiens' Owen Beck: Summoned from AHL
Beck was recalled from AHL Laval on Saturday.
Beck will join the Canadiens on an emergency basis ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Rangers because of injuries to Kirby Dach (lower body) and Patrik Laine (lower body). The 21-year-old Beck has one goal and one assist through three minor-league outings this campaign.

Canadiens' Kaiden Guhle: Set to miss 4-6 weeks
Guhle (lower body) will be out of action for 4-6 weeks, the team announced Saturday.
Guhle logged a season-low 16:10 of ice time in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over Nashville. He has one goal, one assist, seven shots on net, five blocked shots and 16 hits through five outings this season. With Guhle unavailable, Arber Xhekaj will probably return to the lineup against the Rangers on Saturday.

Canadiens' Jacob Fowler: Shuts out Abbotsford
Fowler posted a 19-save shutout in AHL Laval's 3-0 win over Abbotsford on Friday.
Fowler lost his AHL season debut last weekend, but he bounced back in a big way with his first shutout in just his fifth minor-league game. The 20-year-old netminder will likely share the crease with Kaapo Kahkonen this year, though the Canadiens will want Fowler to get as much work as possible. He's one of the top goalie prospects, but with Sam Montembeault entrenched in the No. 1 role in Montreal, the big club has no need to rush Fowler's development.

Canadiens' Oliver Kapanen: Nets third goal
Kapanen scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Kapanen tied the game at 1-1 with his third-period tally. The 22-year-old has started quite well with three goals on seven shots over five games this season, but that's an unsustainable pace, especially for a player in a depth role. He's added five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while also seeing time on the penalty kill, showing he's trusted mostly for his defensive instincts.

Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Comes up big in two-point night
Hutson picked up two assists in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Both helpers came in the third period, with the second capping a clutch sequence in which Hutson blocked a shot headed towards Montreal's empty net before collecting the puck and zipping a pass the length of the ice to Cole Caufield that resulted in the game-tying tally. It was Hutson's first multi-point performance of the season, but the second-year blueliner has produced four assists over a three-game point streak.

Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Plays hero again Thursday
Caufield scored two goals, including the overtime winner, in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Predators.
The 24-year-old winger tied the game at 2-2 with Montreal's net empty and 20 seconds left in the third period, setting Caufield up to go top shelf on Juuse Saros with just three ticks left on the clock in OT. Caufield has erupted for five goals in the last three games, including two game-winners, and he has seven points in total over a four-game scoring streak.
