Patrik Laine is injured at the moment. He hasn’t played in the Canadiens’ last two games, and he didn’t go out West either. We don’t know exactly where he’s hurt, but we do know that he’s going for a second opinion on his injury.

Recently, in a piece about Sidney Crosby, I talked about how, if he were in Montreal, I’d imagine him with Ivan Demidov and Zachary Bolduc on his wings.
That’s what groin injuries do for the Canadiens. Kaiden Guhle and Noah Dobson missed training camp with groin injuries. But you know as well as I do that it’s a different story with Guhle, who will miss several weeks with an injury.

The Canadiens are off to a good start, but is everything perfect? Of course not. At some point, replacing Kaiden Guhle with Marc Del Gaizo in the 23-man roster is clearly going to take its toll.But right now, things are going well.
The Canadiens have recalled Joshua Roy and defenseman Marc Del Gaizo from the Laval Rocket, while Owen Beck has been traded to the Laval Rocket. Basically, this probably means that we preferred to let Adam Engstrom play down low instead of making him eat popcorn on the gangplank in the West.

The Habs have a 5-2 record since the start of the season, which is beyond the expectations of many fans. Still, there are some hot topics on the Habs’ minds: injuries to Kirby Dach and Patrik Laine, and the goaltending situation.
Kirby Dach has missed the Canadiens’ last two games with a lower-body injury.We know he’ll be making the trip out West (Patrik Laine won’t be there) with the team… but we don’t necessarily know Martin St-Louis’s exact plan.Renaud Lavoie provided more details on this subject earlier this evening on the JiC show.
After a successful homestand, the Montreal Canadiens are looking to bring some momentum on the road starting with a clash against the struggling Calgary Flames on Wednesday to open a four-game trip.
The Montreal Canadiens have started the 2025 regular season on fire, heading out on their West Coast road trip with a 5-2-0 record after a dominant homestand.
The Montreal Canadiens are rolling to begin the season as they hold a 5-2 record through seven games. There haven’t been many negatives during the small sample size to begin the year.
Through the first stretch of the 2025-26 season, one storyline quietly emerging for the Montreal Canadiens isn’t about the kids scoring or the revamped blue line; it’s in the crease.
For Montreal Canadiens forward Jake Evans, the eighth time was the charm. The rugged Habs forward finally found the twine on his career- (and game-)high eighth shot of the night to seal a 4-2 victory for the home side over the visiting Buffalo Sabres on Monday night.
Juraj Slafkovsky broke a tie in the third period to help the Montreal Canadiens to a 4-2 win against the visiting Buffalo Sabres on Monday. Oliver Kapanen, Lane Hutson and Jake Evans scored for the Canadiens, who have won five of six.
