The Olympic Games are fast approaching. We’re still waiting to find out whether NHL players will be taking part: according to Bill Daly, the guys won’t be going to Milan if there are health risks on the ice.
The Canadiens have decided to do things differently this year: offer their players a mentors’ trip. At least, that’s what La Presse wrote about Zachary Bolduc, who decided to invite one of his former coaches, Sébastien Lemay.
Well, it’s official. The problems that prevented the Avalanche from wearing their Nordiques jerseys when they visited the Bell Centre in January no longer exist.
Montreal Canadiens‘ centre Jared Davidson’s early numbers don’t scream “future NHL player.” Yet, he was recently called up to the big club. The question is, can he stay in the lineup?
Kirby Dach hasn’t played since November 15. He injured his ankle against the Bruins, and nearly a month ago, the Canadiens announced that the forward would miss four to six weeks.
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 injury bug has once again struck the Montreal Canadiens this season. Currently, forwards Alex Newhook, Kirby Dach, Patrik Laine, as well as defenceman Kaiden Guhle, are out long-term with injury.
Forward Alexandre Texier was signed by the Montreal Canadiens solely as depth to replace injured players in the Habs lineup, but he may have carved himself a role as a solid bottom-six forward in the process.
It’s game day in Montreal. This morning, just hours before the Canadiens’ showdown with the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Canadiens’ players jumped on the Bell Centre ice.
Phillip Danault is a popular name in town these days. We know that his name is circulating quite a bit on the market. Inevitably, it’s the talk of the Habs, who are looking for a center.
As the Montreal Canadiens navigate another season defined by development and long-term planning, their prospect pool remains one of the organization’s greatest strengths.
In 2022, the NHL amateur draft was held in Montreal. That’s when the Habs selected Juraj Slafkovský at #1 before stealing the show with the trades of Alexander Romanov and Kirby Dach.
Life as a professional goaltender is rarely a straight line, but for Kaapo Kahkonen, the first week of December 2025 has been a particular rollercoaster.
Hockey Canada announced its preliminary roster for the World Junior Championships, which are set to take place in Minnesota later this month. The 27-man roster includes Montreal Canadiens top prospect Michael Hage, who has been having an incredible sophomore season at the University of Michigan this year.
After being decimated by brutal, back-to-back long-term injuries to key forwards Alex Newhook and Kirby Dach, the Canadiens were in desperate need of help.
When the Montreal Canadiens selected defenseman Bryce Pickford in the third round of last summer’s draft, the reaction was muted. He was a 19-year-old overage pick who had already passed through one draft and was viewed more as a project than a future pillar of the blue line.
Last year, Michael Hage was not invited to the Junior Team Canada camp. His age (18) was a factor, but we also wondered whether his choice to go to the NCAA had killed his chances of representing his country.
You could feel it early at Bell Centre that Montreal had something going. Even though the final reads 4–3 for the St. Louis Blues, it really felt like a night where the Canadiens had them wobbling.
Last night, against the Blues, Martin St-Louis’s men didn’t necessarily have a bad game. But… they lost. In the 4-3 defeat, there were some good moments.
The Montreal Canadiens scored an emotional 2-1 road victory Saturday night. The St. Louis Blues did the same. So both teams should be riding a high when they meet in Montreal on Sunday night.
Alexandre Texier scored the decisive goal of a shootout and the visiting Montreal Canadiens defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 on Saturday night. Cole Caufield scored for the Canadiens in regulation and also in the shootout and Jakub Dobes made 22 saves.
The Montreal Canadiens have had plenty of quality young players come up through their system over the last few years, and this year is no different. But while Ivan Demidov and Jakub Dobes have all the attention, Oliver Kapanen is putting together a decent rookie season himself.
The Montreal Canadiens have gotten solid production from star winger Cole Caufield this season, as the American has racked up 29 points in 26 games as the Canadiens have had a mercurial start to the season.
The Montreal Canadiens have had goaltending problems to start the 2025-26 season, and it’s a huge reason why they’re tied for the fourth-most goals allowed in the league right now.
Following last night’s victory over Winnipeg, the Canadiens announced a pair of roster moves. The team has assigned defenseman Adam Engstrom and winger Florian Xhekaj to AHL Laval.
