Montreal Canadiens defenseman Lane Huston has been putting up numbers that have amazed critics and have placed him among the NHL's most elite D-men. A recent statistical comparison measured his career stats alongside other NHL stars like Cale Makar and Quinn Hughes, and the results are shocking.
We know what the plan is for tonight. For those who were wondering: no, Kaiden Guhle won’t be in uniform. The defenseman skated at the Bell Centre for a good 40 minutes this morning… but he’s obviously not 100% ready to return yet.
The Montreal Canadiens have taken another step forward in 2025-26 after returning to the playoffs last year, and they’re set to be buyers ahead of the March 6 NHL Trade Deadline.
Kent Hughes must be a little excited right now. He sees his club winning on the ice, and he’s got everything he needs up his sleeve to improve the lineup.
Phillip Danault has played 37 games so far this season. And he has yet to find the back of the net. He has eight assists on his record – including three since being acquired by the Habs – and he’s not the same offensive player he once was in the NHL.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
The Canadiens are not done trying to improve. According to Pierre LeBrun, the Canadiens are currently discussing the possibility of picking up Blake Coleman in Calgary.
Montreal Canadiens forward Phillip Danault clearly wanted the puck. The slapping of his stick on the ice was such a distinct noise, there was no mistaking it.
Will the Canadiens have the NHL’s Rookie of the Year for the second season in a row? Last year, Lane Hutson won the Calder Trophy (ahead of the excellent Macklin Celebrini) and this year, Ivan Demidov is racking up points like I rack up differences of opinion with my two teenagers.
The Montreal Canadiens announced today that defenseman Adam Engström has been reassigned to the team’s AHL affiliate, the Laval Rocket. Engström, 22, finishes what was his first-ever NHL recall with 11 games played.

Montreal Canadiens General Manager Kent Hughes met with the media on Tuesday and discussed several topics, including the possibility of making another move after signing Alexandre Texier and trading for center Phillip Danault.
Will Kaiden Guhle be back in the Canadiens line-up tonight? Possibly. But whether it’s tonight or not, the consensus is that his return is imminent. It’ll probably happen in the next few days – barring a catastrophe.
Last night, the Canadiens returned to the Bell Centre following their Christmas trip. Those who watched the game saw just how out of their league the Flames were compared to the Canadiens.
The Montreal Canadiens’ decision to roll with a three-goalie rotation has sparked plenty of debate over the past few weeks. Much of the conversation has focused on Samuel Montembeault’s struggles and confidence, or on Jacob Fowler’s impressive early performances and long-term upside.
The Montreal Canadiens will look to beat the Florida Panthers for the second time in 10 days when the teams meet in Montreal on Thursday night. The Canadiens won 3-2 in overtime on the road vs.
In a battle of two of last season’s Calder Memorial Trophy finalists, Montreal Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson won out again. The sophomore scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal on Calgary Flames goalie Dustin Wolf just shy of the midway point of the second period, as the Habs rolled to a 4-1 victory on Wednesday at the Bell Centre.
Alexandre Texier scored once in his first career three-point game and Cole Caufield tallied one goal and one assist to lead the host Montreal Canadiens to a decisive 4-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday.
After a long road trip, the Canadiens were back at the Bell Centre tonight, taking on the Calgary Flames. For the occasion, Jacob Fowler was in net… and Phillip Danault played his first game in Montreal since the deal that brought him back to the Habs.
Montreal Canadiens forward Kirby Dach should be returning to the Habs lineup in the next couple of weeks. The majority of the Canadiens’ forward lines have been looking really good as of late.
If you thought sophomore slumps were inevitable for NHL rookies, you clearly haven’t been watching Lane Hutson. The Montreal Canadiens’ young defence phenom didn’t just survive his second year — he’s thriving, and doing it in a way that makes you stop and wonder how any player avoids the trap so many stumble into.
The midway point of the NHL season has come and gone, and the Montreal Canadiens are sitting at seventh overall in the standings. This has surprised some
It’s no great shock to see the Montreal Canadiens third in the Atlantic Division and tied for fourth in the Eastern Conference halfway through the season.
