  • Helps on power play
    Caufield had a power-play assist, three shots on net and one hit over 17:21 of ice time in Monday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

    Advice: Caufield and Nick Suzuki played a game of catch along the side wall before Suzuki set up Sean Monahan for the Canadiens' third score. The assist snapped a 10-game drought without a power-play point for Caufield, who has nine points on the man-advantage unit through 25 games. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Sets up power-play tally
    Suzuki had a power-play assist and four shots on net over 18:40 of ice time in Monday's 4-2 win over Seattle.

    Advice: Suzuki and Cole Caufield worked a tight passing sequence before the captain set up Sean Monahan for Montreal's third goal. Suzuki has three points over the last two games, including a goal and assist on the man-advantage unit. For the season, he's up to 21 points (10 on the power play), 60 shots, 15 hits, 12 blocks and six PIM with a minus-8 over 25 games. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • Records assist in win
    Dvorak had an assist, one shot on net and two blocked shots over 14:16 of ice time in Monday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

    Advice: Dvorak picked up the secondary helper on Tanner Pearson's strike early in the second period. It was the fourth assist and fifth point over 15 games since coming off injured reserve. After a slight tweak to the line combinations, Dvorak now centers a line between Pearson and Brendan Gallagher, which can be considered the third line judging by the number of shifts they played Monday.

  • Logs assist in win
    Gallagher had an assist, one shot on net and two blocked shots over 13:54 of ice time in Monday's 4-2 win over Seattle.

    Advice: Gallagher redirected a Christian Dvorak pass which was stopped by Philipp Grubauer, but Tanner Pearson was well positioned to deposit the puck into the empty side of the net. The 31-year-old Gallagher has cooled off following an early-season surge. Monday's assist stopped a five-game scoreless slide, and he has just two assists over the last 11 games.

  • Snaps goal drought
    Pearson scored a goal on six shots and delivered one hit over 13:51 of ice time in Monday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

    Advice: Pearson cleaned up the trash for Montreal's second score following Philipp Grubauer's stop of a Brendan Gallagher redirect. Pearson's first goal in 20 games occurred on a night when three Montreal forwards could breathe easier after droughts. Sean Monahan scored for the first time in 15 games, and Josh Anderson recorded his first tally of the season. Pearson is up to four goals, four assists, 46 shots on net, 26 hits, 16 blocks and 13 PIM with a minus-3 over 25 games. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Runs assist streak to three
    Evans had an assist, two blocked shots and one hit over 19:43 of ice time in Monday's 4-2 win over Seattle.

    Advice: Evans, the F1 forward, forced a turnover behind the Kraken's goal line that led to Josh Anderson feeding Sean Monahan for an easy score four minutes into the game. It was the third straight game with an assist for Evans, who has been liberated off the fourth line. His line should be considered part of the top-six, given the number of even-strength shifts it had Monday. Evans had a season-high TOI and is averaging 17:32 over his three-game point streak.

  • Finally, a goal
    Anderson scored a goal on three shots and assisted on another over 16:46 of ice time in Monday's 4-2 win over Seattle.

    Advice: With the Kraken pressing for the tying goal late, Anderson corralled a loose puck after a scramble and sent it 200 feet into Seattle's empty net. It took 25 games and nearly two months, but Anderson finally potted his first goal of the season. The snake-bitten power forward, who had 21 tallies in 69 games last season, joined Tanner Pearson (first goal in 20 games) and Sean Monahan (first in 15) in knocking off the Kraken. Anderson also assisted on one of Monahan's two goals in the first period. The slow start was not just about goals; Anderson had just two points over the first 23 games before notching a goal and two assists over the last two contests. Rotowire.com Today, 3:48 am
     
  • Registers power-play assist
    Pietrangelo picked up an assist in Monday's 2-1 OT home loss against the Blues.

    Advice: Pietrangelo had the primary assist in Jack Eichel's power-play goal at 12:58 of the third period, tying the game to force overtime. He ended up with a minus-1 rating, two shots on goal, a blocked shot and two hits in a team-high 23:40 of ice time across 24 shifts. Pietrangelo has notched three assists in the past three games. It was his first point in front of the home fans since posting a goal and three points Nov. 10 against the Sharks. Rotowire.com Today, 1:08 am
     
  • Tosses body around in OT loss
    McNabb was scoreless in Monday's 2-1 OT home loss against the Blues.

    Advice: McNabb ended up with a shot on goal, five blocked shots and two hits in 19:40 of ice time across 27 shifts. The veteran managed a goal and eight points in the first 17 games, but he has now been blanked in each of the past nine contests. His calling card is physicality, and blocked shots and hits are where he helps fantasy managers the most. Rotowire.com Today, 1:01 am
