Former Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin has requested a trade from the team. Recently, Larkin expanded his list from just a handful of teams to 10. Missing from that list are some of the Canadian contenders, including the Montreal Canadiens. The trade list has the usual suspects, such as the Florida Panthers, Vegas Golden […]

Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki suffers an upper‑body injury after blocking a shot against the San Jose Sharks, sidelining him for 2‑4 weeks and ending his 546‑game iron‑man streak. The loss hits the Habs at a tough start to the season, stripping them of their top‑line forward, power‑play and penalty‑kill engine. Coach Kent Hughes now must test depth players—Oliver Kapanen on the top line, and a solid second line of Chris Kreider, Alex Newhook and Josh Anderson—while the team searches for a true No. 2 centre. The upcoming stretch will be a critical stress test for Montreal’s Stanley Cup hopes.
Prior to their practice on Thursday morning, the Montreal Canadiens announced that they had recalled Oliver Beck and that captain Nick Suzuki will miss the next two to four weeks with an upper-body injury. Following practice, Suzuki’s linemate, Juraj Slafkovsky, confirmed the injury occurred when Nick Suzuki blocked a shot from Michael Kesselring late in the […]

Still, they have hopes of returning to the playoffs this season after making a run to the conference finals last season. The Habs have already been dealing with plenty of injury concerns this year.

The Montreal Canadiens are still eyeing Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin even though he left them off his newly released 10‑team trade list. Pierre LeBrun (TSN) says Montreal would remain interested if Larkin changes his mind, but the winger has made it clear he wants to join a U.S. Cup contender, preferably in a no‑income‑tax state. With the trade deadline approaching, the Habs face the challenge of convincing Detroit and Larkin to agree to a move to Canada, a scenario many view as unlikely.

The Montreal Canadiens confirm captain Nick Suzuki will sit out the next 2‑4 weeks with an upper‑body injury, marking the first time he misses NHL action due to injury. Suzuki grimaced on the bench during the Canadiens' overtime defeat to the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday. In response, the club recalls forward Owen Beck from the Laval Rocket to fill the roster spot. The move shifts the team’s lineup as they head into the early season stretch.
The Montreal Canadiens were one of the NHL’s most resilient teams last season, regularly finding ways to battle back from deficits and steal games that appeared to be slipping away. Their ability to stay competitive regardless of the score was a major reason behind their success. However, through the early stages of the 2026-27 season, the Canadiens have seemingly flipped the script, and not in a good way. Instead of being the team that comes from behind, Montreal has repeatedly been the one a...
An inability to close out the San Jose Sharks is the latest reason for the Montreal Canadiens to be embarrassed to start off 2026-27.

The Canadiens send forward Owen Beck and defenseman David Reinbacher to the AHL’s Laval Rocket to give the injury‑prone Reinbacher heavy minutes and aid his development, while Adam Engstrom thrives and Mike Matheson nears a return. Montreal’s discipline is under fire as the team leads the league in minors despite playing two fewer games, a problem dating back to coach Martin St‑Louis. Prospect Alexander Zharovsky, a 2025 first‑round pick, impresses with a spectacular KHL goal, and injured defenders Matheson and Florian Xhekaj log 45 minutes of drills in Brossard, hinting at an imminent comeback. Lane Hutson ties Henri Richard with 135 assists before age 23.

Montreal Canadiens secured winger Alexander Zharovsky in the 2025 draft by trading up to the 34th pick, and the 19‑year‑old is already delivering highlight‑reel moments. In a recent KHL game, Zharovsky raced the length of the ice to score a spectacular end‑to‑end goal, helping Salavat Yulaev Ufa to a 5‑4 shootout loss to Metallurg. He posted 16 goals and 26 assists last season, earning the Aleksei Cherepanov Rookie of the Year award, though his defensive play still needs work. The Habs’ gamble appears to be paying off as Zharovsky showcases the offensive talent that made him a prized prospect.
The Montreal Canadiens lead the NHL in minor penalties, a byproduct of head coach Martin St‑Louis’ high‑intensity system. Recent games illustrate the cost: Arber Xhekaj’s unsportsmanlike conduct gave the San Jose Sharks a power‑play goal that erased a 3‑2 lead, and Jakub Dobes’ interference penalty led to the OT winner. The article notes the Habs have the second‑most penalties since the 2024‑25 season and rank 21st in penalty‑kill efficiency (78.4%). It argues that without greater discipline, the team’s relentless style will keep costing points.

The Montreal Canadiens have loaned forward Owen Beck and defenseman David Reinbacher back down to their AHL affiliate, the Laval Rocket.

The Montreal Canadiens have spent the last few years building one of the NHL’s most promising groups of young defensemen. With Lane Hutson already establishing himself as a star and several other talented blueliners making their way through the organization, Montreal’s future on the back end looks bright. However, another name is beginning to attract attention, and it might not be one that many fans expected. Luke Mittelstadt, a seventh-round selection in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, has been abs...
The Canadiens fell 4-3 in OT to the San Jose Sharks despite a first‑line surge from Nick Suzuki, Juraj Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield.
