  • Habs captain Nick Suzuki was named a finalist for the Selke Trophy, awarded annually to the forward judged to have made the greatest defensive impact. They are considered favorites for the trophy, but more importantly, we have this latest proof that Suzuki has done a great job leading his team by example, both on and off the ice. [Nick Suzuki Selke Bid – Model Of Consistency And Leadership]
  • The future is now, old man! The Canadiens and Habs represent two of the youngest clubs in the NHL, and considering they are the only remaining Atlantic Division teams in the playoffs, it would be hard for you to argue that they aren’t also among the most exciting clubs in the league.
  • The Canadiens defeated the Sabers by a wide margin in Game 1, but Buffalo scored four goals on its first nine shots, enough to secure a crucial first win of the series. [Canadiens Highlights: Sabres Strike First]
  • Top prospect Bryce Pickford was named WHL Defenseman of the Year on Tuesday, and followed up with the Player of the Year award on Wednesday. The highly skilled defenseman scored a ridiculous 45 goals in 55 games for the Medicine Hat Tigers. [Canadiens Top 20 Prospects: No. 7 – Extraordinary Pickford]
  • Renaming your entire establishment is certainly a commitment to this cause.
  • Few things cause second-hand pain more than watching someone drop a piece of frozen, vulcanized rubber straight onto the ground. balls. The good news is that Caden Guhle returned to the ice soon.

  • The New Jersey Devils should aggressively trade their 12th overall pick instead of using it to select a player in the 2026 NHL Draft. Tuesday night’s draft lottery brought a few surprises. The Toronto Maple Leafs moved up to first overall. The San Jose Sharks moved up eight spots to number two. [New Jersey Devils]
  • Trade rumors are like sunshine around this time of year; The further you go into the summer, the more there is. The Edmonton Oilers already have a lot of decisions to make this summer. While some believe they need to find a way to send out defender Darnell Nurse, there are bigger problems that must be addressed. [Edmonton Oilers]
  • The Minnesota Wild are halfway through the start of their summer vacation after losing 5-2 to the Colorado Avalanche in Game 2 of the Western Conference Second Round series. [Minnesota Wild]

Sabers Series Preview, Demidov Calder, Pickford

Here are the Montreal Canadiens and NHL news items you may have missed Tuesday.

montreal canadiens news

  • The Buffalo Sabers should be considered the favorites in the second round of the NHL playoffs, but the discrepancy between the Sabers and Habs is not significant. Statistically speaking, they are much more evenly matched than the Canadiens and Lightning. All things considered, this should be another tightly contested series. [Canadiens Vs. Sabres Series Preview: Head-To-Head]
  • Slovak forward Juraj Slafkowski is not feeling any effects from the first-round series against the Lightning, and he has a great way to describe his current health status.
  • Canadian prospect Bryce Pickford was named the top defenseman in the WHL, which is not surprising when we consider he enjoyed a standout season from an offensive standpoint. In 55 regular season games, Pickford scored an incredible 45 goals and 38 assists. He would add 12 more points to his tally in the playoffs.
  • It’s hard not to avoid naming Darren Reddish’s wasted goal in Game 1 of the first-round series against the Lightning as the NHL’s ‘Moment of the Round’. Does someone want to tell the NHL that the Lightning actually lost that game, let alone the series?
  • It is to Nikita Kucherov’s credit that he loses with much more grace than he wins, although there is a very low threshold to explain this.
  • We have to give it to Jacob Dobbs, this is a solid chuckle in the heat of the moment, and it turns out he was right.
  • The Laval Rocket evened their series against the Toronto Marlies (2-2) with an impressive 4-0 win on Tuesday. Alex Belzile (2), Samuel Blais (2, 3), and Laurent Dauphin (2) provided the goals for Laval, while Kaapo Kahkonen stopped all 18 shots sent his way to secure the shutout.

Sportsknot Network

  • The NHL Draft Lottery took place on Tuesday night, and believe it or not, the Toronto Maple Leafs were awarded the No. 1 overall pick.
  • It was believed that the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights would be a classic encounter of heated rivals who have stood in each other’s way for many years. Instead, it was the upstart Anaheim Ducks, who proceeded to play one of their best defensive games of the playoffs and send the Golden Knights to overtime in Game 1 of their round two series. [Vegas Golden Knights]
  • New Jersey Devils forwards Nico Hischier and Timo Meier are set to represent Switzerland at the 2026 IIHF Men’s World Championship, being held from May 15 to May 31, 2026 in Zurich and Fribourg, Switzerland. [New Jersey Devils]

Eight consecutive wins, Demidov scored 60, Pickford

Eight consecutive wins, Demidov scored 60, Pickford

Here are the Montreal Canadiens news items, stories and content you may have missed on Saturday.

montreal canadiens news

Cole Caufield played a key role in Montreal’s 4–3 shootout victory over the New Jersey Devils, however, he did not score a goal. The elite sniper recorded two assists, helping the Habs earn their eighth consecutive win. With the win the team also reached the 100-point mark. [Canadiens Highlights: 100-Point Season Secured In Exciting Win]

While most of the attention in the race for the Calder Trophy has focused on Beckett Seneca or Matthew Schaeffer, it’s worth pointing out that Ivan Demidov is the first rookie to reach the 60-point mark.

Bryce Pickford has every chance of scoring a goal. Well, to be more precise, he does a lot in between scoring goals at an impressive rate, but he is not that flashy.

It was relatively surprising to see veteran Samuel Montembeault serve as Montreal’s backup on Saturday, although it should be noted that Jacob Fowler is expected to start the second leg of back-to-back games on Sunday, which explains why Montembeault dressed.

It’s fair to say that many NHL stars have Montreal as their ideal backup plan. Of course, it would be better if hubs became their ideal destination, but this is a situation that still needs a little work. Thankfully, since Kent Hughes and company took over, Montreal has slowly but surely become a city that star skaters want to play in.

If the New Jersey Devils had made the playoffs this season, the series against the Montreal Canadiens could have been really fun. Alas, there were no playoff chances this year, nor a win against Montreal on Saturday night. [New Jersey Devils]

The Washington Capitals have kept their playoff hopes alive for now. He scored six goals against the red-hot Buffalo Sabers en route to a 6–2 home win on Saturday. [Washington Capitals]

As Barry Trotz’s retirement approaches, the Nashville Predators’ search for a new general manager is intensifying. Now, a new rumor has surfaced – their victim is being linked to the Carolina Hurricanes. [Carolina Hurricanes]

Hayes Voted Best Prospect, Pickford Excellence, Laval

Montreal – There’s Montreal Canadiens news every hour, and we’re all bound to miss a news story or two. On Sundays, we recap relevant NHL news you may have missed to help you stay in the Habs loop.

Make sure you don’t miss any news from Canadians by signing up for our weekly newsletter! You can also sign up for a daily newsletter covering various other NHL teams, or the most exciting developments in the game.[Sportsnaut]

Montreal Canadiens News and Notes

He landed the top spot in our annual Montreal Canadiens prospect rankings, voted on by Habs fans. Dynamic forward Michael Hayes earned the No. 1 spot because of his elite skill set, not to mention he has already established himself as one of the top players in the NCAA. It remains to be seen how long he’ll stay in the NCAA, and whether the Habs will want him to spend some time in the AHL before graduating to the NHL, but there’s no doubt that Hayes represents Montreal’s best hopes of drafting an elite player from their current prospect pool. [Canadiens Top 20 Prospects – No. 1 Dynamic Michael Hage]

Our analyst Ronnie Hermo took a deep dive into the data prepared by Samuel Montembeault, Jacob Dobbs and Jacob Fowler and the results may surprise you! Well, sensationalism aside, Ronnie always does a great job, and in this case, he has shed some important light on the current situation. While Dobbs has managed to win more games, the statistics show that Montembeault has also played relatively well. [Canadiens Analysis: – Which Goalie Should Start Down The Final Stretch Of The Season]

The Canadiens are reportedly interested in trading for Robert Thomas, but the cost would be too high. This makes sense, because Thomas is at his statistical peak, and you rarely see a player of his talent become available for trade. According to the report, the trade package would also include top Canadiens prospect Hayes, among others.

Laval rocket is doing its job properly. In addition to being the center of entertainment in Laval, they are set to honor firefighters with new jerseys over the weekend. They will then auction off the jerseys and the proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. This is a great initiative that clearly deserves our support. On that note, even if they aren’t supporting any important charities, I would still suggest going to see Rocket, as it offers the best bang for your buck when it comes to the entertainment budget. In particular, families benefit from the reasonable costs, great ambiance and great facilities at Place Bell.

Adam Nicholls continues to be one of the most important members of the Canadiens organization, helping young players become confident NHLers.

Besides, he also has a very good shot!

ICYMI: Netminder Jacob Fowler took the No. 2 spot in our Canadiens prospect rankings. All things considered, he has shown that he can be a dominant presence in every league from the USHL to the NHL, but we should be wary of thrusting him into the NHL spotlight too quickly. He still needs to absorb as much experience as possible in the AHL before the pressure of becoming Montreal’s starter comes. [Canadiens Top 20 Prospects – No. 2 Stoic Fowler]

It’s officially silly season! Habs-related rumors have been increasing, with one of the most recent reports linking the Calgary Flames to defenseman Arbor Zekaj. [Canadiens Rumours: Calgary Reportedly Interested in Xhekaj]

Patrik Laine’s name also came up on Tuesday. Apparently, the Los Angeles Kings have renewed interest in the power play specialist. [Canadiens Linked To Kings In Laine Trade Rumour]

While the Flames have shown interest in Zekaj, the Habs continue to kick the tires on Flames forward Nazem Kadri. [Evaluating Canadiens Rumour Linking Kadri To Montreal]

With the March 6 NHL trade deadline looming, we take a look at the most pressing needs of Kent Hughes and company. While many want the Habs to acquire a forward, the defensive situation is far more worrisome. Montreal scored a lot of goals, but struggled to keep the puck out of their own net. [Top 5 Canadiens Needs Heading Into Trade Deadline]

There were 12 goals scored in Tuesday night’s game between the Habs and Sharks! Watch highlights of the goal bonus in California that resulted in a 7-5 win for the Sharks [Canadiens Highlights: Goal Bonanza In San Jose]

One of the Canadiens’ top prospects, Bryce Pickford, refuses to stop scoring goals at will in the WHL. Pickford was voted as the No. 7 player in our annual Top 20 Habs prospects rankings. [Canadiens Top 20 Rankings – No. 7 The Extraordinary Bryce Pickford]

As always, phenom Lane Hutson has his eyes on the prize.

Given that the Habs have been linked to St. Louis Blues forward Robert Thomas, we decided to take a deeper look at his potential fit in the lineup as well as the estimated cost of his acquisition. [Evaluating The Trade Rumour Linking Thomas To The Canadiens]

Pierre LeBrun suggested the Canadiens might want to consider a goalie like Jordan Binnington. Honestly, I can’t see the Habs trading for a veteran netminder who has a worse save percentage than Samuel Montembeault. He also mentioned that the Habs are keeping an eye on Calgary Flames forward Nazem Kadri as well as New York Rangers forward Vincent Trocheck.

Speaking of goalie rumors that make no sense, Elliotte Friedman essentially shot down the idea that the Canadiens should take a serious look at Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky.

Jimmy Murphy thinks the Habs could take a shot at AJ Greer or Brandon Duhaime. They are good depth options, but I would argue that bottom-six depth is not among Montreal’s most pressing needs as the trade deadline approaches. [Top 5 Canadiens Needs Ahead Of Trade Deadline]

This is not a rerun! Defenseman Bryce Pickford once again scored his 39th goal of the year. As a reminder, he was forced to miss some games due to injury. Wednesday night was his 49th game of the season. [Canadiens Top 20 Rankings – No. 7 The Extraordinary Bryce Pickford]

Pickford’s work was not completed there. He scored his 40th (!) goal of the year early in the second period.

He completed a hat trick, his third of the season, leading the Tigers to a 6–3 victory over the Brandon Wheat Kings.

Pierre LeBrun thinks the Canadiens have inquired about New York Rangers forward Vincent Trocheck ahead of the NHL trade deadline. Take a look at what Trocheck could bring to the Habs. [Trocheck Linked To Canadiens In Latest NHL Trade Deadline Talk]

Some insiders have suggested the Canadiens could pull the trigger on a deal that includes a goaltender, but the numbers suggest that veteran netminders like Sergei Bobrovsky and Jordan Binnington would be terrific trade targets. [Canadiens Trade Talk: Evaluating Potential Goaltender Targets]

ICYMI: Given that the Habs have been linked to St. Louis Blues forward Robert Thomas, we decided to take a deeper look at his potential fit in the lineup as well as the estimated cost of the acquisition. [Evaluating The Trade Rumour Linking Thomas To The Canadiens]

Juraj Slafkowski was returned to the first line in practice on Thursday, while Alex Newhook was moved to the second line, and Kirby Dach was moved to the third line. Mike Matheson was absent from practice, which led to a change in configuration between the defensive pairings.

The Canadians stuck to the deadline, but not for lack of effort. According to Kent Hughes, there was one particular trade that went to the wire, but ultimately failed. He also mentioned that a deal is still a possibility, pointing to potential “significant trade” in the summer. [Hughes Discusses Potential Significant Trade, Canadiens Deadline]

Speaking about trades, Hughes suggested that the Habs were sometimes included on the no-trade clause list, but this was mostly due to the previous ruling, and would not have any impact on any deals.

Watch all 41(!) goals of impressive Habs prospect Bryce Pickford. The talented defenseman was selected No. 7 in our annual prospect rankings. [Canadiens Top 20 Prospects: No.7 – Extraordinary Pickford]

Unfortunately, the highlight reel posted above is already out of date, as Pickford scored his 42nd goal of the year, helping the Medicine Hat Tigers defeat the Red Deer Rebels 7-3.

The star players made their mark, but it was not enough, as the Canadiens defeated the Ducks 6–5 in the shootout. There are so many highlights! [Habs Highlights: Star Players Salvage Point In Anaheim]

Jacob Fowler returned to play and immediately made an impact for the Laval Rocket, stopping 35 of 37 shots to secure a 4–2 victory for Montreal’s farm team. Fowler was the game’s first star, while Joshua Roy (16), Owen Beck (9), David Rickenbacker (5) and Florian Czekaj (11) scored for Laval.

Jacob Dobbs was solid, keeping the Canadiens on the first line in the game long enough to snatch a win from the jaws of defeat against the Los Angeles Kings. There’s no doubt, Montreal is a better team when Juraj Slafkowski, Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield play together. [Habs Highlights: First Line Dominance Saves Canadiens]

We’re three days away from the 2026 NHL trade deadline. The New Jersey Devils are in a precarious position, with the possibility of them missing the playoffs after a disappointing 2025-26 season that had a lot of expectations. Heading into Friday’s deadline, it appears defenseman Simon Nemec is generating Devils trade interest. [New Jersey Devils]

The Toronto Maple Leafs were expected to be busy in the NHL news cycle this week, likely with a few names on their blue line. But this announcement was not necessarily expected: the team has confirmed that Chris Tanev has had core muscle surgery and is done for the season. [Toronto Maple Leafs]

The Florida Panthers are on the rise. After the Olympic break, the Panthers have lost three consecutive games and are in last place in the Atlantic Division with 63 points. Florida is 10 points (five games) out of the final wild card spot with 21 games left. Time is ticking, and the Panthers have made a decision on their plans for the 2026 NHL trade deadline.

The St. Louis Blues and Buffalo Sabers are working on a trade that will shock the entire NHL. As TSN’s Darren Dreger reports, trade talks between the Blues and Sabers involving Robert Thomas are “heating up.” St.Louis is serious about trading Thomas after weeks of speculation. [Buffalo Sabres]

The Carolina Hurricanes have the most points in the Eastern Conference heading into the NHL trade deadline on Friday. Carolina is speculated to acquire Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson.

Here are the Montreal Canadiens news items, stories and content you may have missed Tuesday.

montreal canadiens news

Highly mobile defenseman Adam Engstrom cracked the top 5 in our annual Montreal Canadiens prospect rankings. Not only has Engstrom established himself as one of the best defensemen in the AHL, his underlying statistics during his 11-game audition in Montreal suggest he is almost ready for full-time NHL action. [Canadiens Top 20 Prospects – No. 5 Smooth Skating Engstrom]

I’m not sure Juraj Slafkowski shares many similarities with Jaromir Jagr, other than maybe their size. For the most part, Slafkowski is a unique player, but who am I to argue with one of the best forwards in hockey history?

Prospect Bryce Pickford has recovered from his injury and has returned to his scoring ways. We recently included Pickford in our top 20 Montreal Canadiens prospect rankings. [Canadiens Top 20 Prospects: No.7 – Extraordinary Pickford]

After capturing a bronze medal for Team Finland at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, Oliver Kapanen is back in Montreal.

Marco Marciano continues to spend as much time as possible with his new clients. It’s a little early to analyze their impact on his numbers, but it won’t be long until we put together an analysis article focused on the goaltending coach change.

Former Hub Brett Kulak was involved in another trade on Tuesday. The Colorado Avalanche, a team hungry for another Stanley Cup win, acquired him in exchange for Samuel Girard and a second-round pick.

If it wasn’t already obvious, New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes will be visiting the White House on Tuesday with the rest of Team USA. “We’re very proud to represent America and when you get a chance to go to the White House and meet the president, we’re proud to be Americans and it’s very patriotic,” the Devils superstar said while celebrating in Miami on Monday. [New Jersey Devils]

For the second time this season, Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas executed a trade for a young player with multi-year team control. And for the second time this season, no one else saw the Penguins trade coming. [Pittsburgh Penguins]

It’s been a tough season for Frederick Anderson. From a nine-game losing streak to career lows in key advanced statistics, Anderson has struggled to maintain consistent play. Despite the Carolina Hurricanes’ defensive core being decimated in the early season, Anderson has been the one to take the brunt of the criticism throughout the campaign – something that can rob confidence at any moment like a thief in the night. However, when the national players return to the local grounds from the Olympic stage, perhaps it’s just what the doctor ordered. [Carolina Hurricanes]
