Slafkovsky Praises Kapanen, Kreider Is Looking Forward to Tonight, and the Plan for the Goaltenders

Since the start of training camp, Juraj Slafkovský has been playing on the second line.

Jacob Fowler has grown up this summer (and that’s great news)

Jacob Fowler is, in the eyes of many, the NHL’s top prospect in goal. All summer long, he has topped many experts’ rankings. Seeing him hold his own at age 21 in the Bettman league last year helped cement that status. That said, one concern kept coming up: many people wondered if Fowler was too […]

Samuel Montembeault “thinks” he’s still part of the CH’s plans

Samuel Montembeault is likely one of the Habs players under the closest scrutiny at the team’s current training camp.

Josh Anderson: Negotiations for a new contract could begin soon

In 2020, Josh Anderson arrived in Montreal. The power forward, who had been playing for Columbus, was acquired in a trade that sent Max Domi to the Blue Jackets. In the days that followed, Anderson signed a seven-year deal to make a long-term commitment to Quebec. He believed in Marc Bergevin’s vision and put down […]

Zachary Bolduc: The length of the contract was the sticking point in the negotiations

“It wasn’t intentional”: Chris Kreider reflects on the Carey Price incident

Chris Kreider is now a member of the Montreal Canadiens. And this morning, on the sidelines of the golf tournament, he spoke to the Montreal media for the first time.
