“The worst-case scenario for Mike Matheson was a six-month absence.”
Félix Forget

The Canadiens are currently without Mike Matheson. The defenseman, who is a key part of the team’s blue-line, is being evaluated on a daily basis. The fact that he skated this morning (even though he did so separately from his teammates on a different rink) is a pretty clear sign that he’s making progress. And […]

A Red Wings scout will be at the Bell Centre tonight
Félix Forget

Tonight, the Canadiens will host the Buffalo Sabres at the Bell Centre. Remember, the Sabres were also in town on Tuesday night. It’s a bit of a strange schedule for both teams, but I digress. But beyond the visitors they’ll be facing on the ice, the Habs will also be welcoming two scouts to their […]

Félix Forget

Oliver Kapanen will play his first game of the 2026-27 season tonight. The Finnish player, who was expected to be the club’s second-line center heading into the season, has not yet been able to play. We knew he had a lower-body injury… but he’d been “day-to-day” for several weeks. All of this made his absence […]

Dylan Larkin: Here’s How the Red Wings Could Push Him Toward Montreal
Félix Forget

When (and where) will Dylan Larkin be traded? That’s the hot topic in the NHL right now. We know that Larkin—whom the Habs are ready to acquire—doesn’t seem to want to play in Canada. That’s what’s holding up the deal right now… and why he’s still in Detroit at the moment. Could that change soon? […]

Alexander Zharovsky: A Big Game to End a (Major) Slump
Félix Forget

Alexander Zharovsky isn’t having a great season in Russia. The Canadiens’ prospect, who showed a lot of promise in 2025–26 (even though he eventually hit a wall), has been slow to regain last year’s form. Heading into today’s game, he had two goals and six assists in 16 games—a far cry from his 42-point pace […]

Last week, Frank Seravalli revisited the Canadiens’ offer to the Blue Jackets for Kirill Marchenko. The insider noted that, according to his sources, Kent Hughes was prepared to offer five assets to the Blue Jackets in exchange for the Russian player. The talk was of two forwards and a defenseman—all currently playing in the NHL—plus […]

Félix Forget

For the past week, the Canadiens have been without Ivan Demidov. The young Russian, who is a key part of the team’s offense, is sidelined with a foot injury. According to the latest reports, he was still wearing a walking boot just a few days ago. However, tonight, our colleague Maxime Truman reported some good […]

Dylan Larkin in Montreal: Elliotte Friedman Isn’t Closing the Door
Félix Forget

Dylan Larkin has been the talk of the town for a while now. We know that the forward, who wants to leave Michigan, isn’t (yet?) ready to accept a trade that would send him to Montreal. And that’s despite the fact that the fans showed him some love on Saturday night… and that the Habs […]
