The Montreal Canadiens have been one of the National Hockey League’s busier teams on the trade market over the last seven months, acquiring Noah Dobson, Zack Bolduc and Phillip Danault since June of 2025.
The Canadiens currently have 12 healthy forwards in the NHL. So we know which guys will play tonight’s game, given that Martin St-Louis has no options.
Tonight, the Canadiens take on the Detroit Red Wings for first place in the Atlantic. It’s a crucial game… and for the occasion, it’s Jacob Fowler who will be in net.

The Canadiens will welcome back a key part of their back end tonight against Detroit. The team announced that defenseman Kaiden Guhle will return to the lineup, meaning he will be activated off long-term injured reserve.
A few days ago, former NHLer Evgeny Kuznetsov joined Ufa’s Salavat Yulaev in the KHL, the team of Canadiens prospect Alexander Zharovsky. Kuznetsov mentored Ivan Demidov last season with SKA St.
The Montreal Canadiens' three-goalie situation cannot last forever. Eventually, the organization will need to make a decision about which netminder to move, and all signs point to Samuel Montembeault being the most likely candidate for a trade.
Opportunity in the NHL is a fragile thing. For some players, it comes once and disappears just as quickly. For others, it arrives unexpectedly, in the middle of a season, when injuries and circumstances open a door that seemed firmly shut.
When we talk about the Canadiens’ prospects, we mostly hear the names Michael Hage, fresh off an incredible World Junior Championship, and Alexander Zharovsky, who is dominating in the KHL at 18.
During last offseason, the Montreal Canadiens were coming off of a surprising playoff berth, one that saw them eliminated in five games in the first round by a more experienced and physical Washington Capitals.
Alexandre Texier has become a crowd favorite in Montreal in a very short time. After a one-goal, one-assist game on Wednesday night, he repeated the feat with a hat trick last night.

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.
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.
The 2024 first-round pick (21st overall) is showing good progress in his second year in the NCAA at Michigan, with 10 goals and 28 points after 20 games.
