BSM: David Savard should be the one to sit for Mike Matheson

Montreal, meanwhile, is 1-0-1 and coming off a 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. The game goes down on Tuesday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. ET. It can be seen on ESPN+ in the States and TSN2 in Canada. The…

With the Montreal Canadiens set to start another campaign, fans have already tempered their expectations, but there could still be a few surprises. It's no secret, go to NHL betting lines online or any casinos available in Canada, and the Montreal Canadiens don't appear destined for greatness this season. The roster is virtually the same, with the…

You can add defenseman David Reinbacher to the list of Montreal Canadiens training camp cuts. It's a list of arguably premature cuts, but ultimately justifiable cuts all the same, as Reinbacher gets loaned to EHC Kloten in Switzerland. Reinbacher was joined by the likes of goalie Jakub Dobes, defenseman William Trudeau and forward Sean Farrell. The…

The Montreal Canadiens have done a great job addressing, what was a weakness in the organization. Since Shea Weber retired, and Jeff Petry was traded away, the right side of the blueline had a downgrade in talent. Mike Matheson, Kaiden Guhle and many high-potential left-handed defenders represent the strong depth on the left side, but the opposite…

Before the game begins, we learn that Mike Matheson won't be playing tonight, replaced by Kaiden Guhle instead. Hopefully it's not another season-opening injury for the defenceman. Maybe Martin St-Louis just saw the quality of this Sens lineup and decided to give his number-one defenceman the night off. On the opening shift, Nick Suzuki gets…

The Montreal Canadiens will have some tough decisions ahead, but none as delicate as the future of David Reinbacher. The 5th overall selection in the 2023 NHL Draft may well have signed his entry-level contract with the Canadiens, but it doesn't mean he will necessarily spend the season in North America. Reinbacher has gained confidence throughout…

Every Sunday we will recap the most exciting and relevant NHL news stories that you may have missed throughout the week. Joshua Roy is one of the most exciting Habs prospects for a variety…

The Montreal Canadiens are in the midst of a rebuild, and for Kent Hughes and Co., this means prioritizing development over short-term success. It also affords the opportunity to give prospects a chance to play in the best league in the world, should they prove ready. With that in mind, here is a Canadiens prospect who could be knocking at the…

Now that the Montreal Canadiens have announced defenceman Chris Wideman will be out of action indefinitely with a back injury, the defensive group likely to make the team has become a lot clearer. It's an unfortunate situation for Wideman, seeing as back injuries at his age tend to be a difficult hurdle to climb if a player hopes to return to…

The Montreal Canadiens have lots of talent throughout their roster, made up of younger players either trying to break into the NHL or trying to stick around. This will create a ton of competition in training camp to get the best out of every player, which can only be seen as a good thing. Despite players having already been moved, there may or may…

The Montreal Canadiens enter next season with new players and young prospects hungry for the NHL. Like every other team in the league, they will aim to win the Stanley Cup and put the best players on the ice. Realistically the Canadiens are far from being a team that could win the Cup, but that doesn't mean they won't try. In 2022-23, the team…

Welcome back to another off-season edition of the Montreal Canadiens Mailbag! We received a lot of questions, which means we'll be dividing the mailbag into two different articles, just as we did last week. I'd like to apologize in advance for any typos or stilted sentences. Via Rail is one of my favourite ways of getting around in this country,…

Amid a five-game slide, the Philadelphia Flyers travel to the Bell Centre to battle the Montreal Canadiens. On the road against the Boston Bruins, the Flyers measured up to the best team in the NHL through two periods. Entering the third, behind 1-0, the scoreboard favored the Bruins. Boston capitalized on the powerplay to run away with the…

The Montreal Canadiens dropped their second straight game on Thursday night, falling 6-4 to the Columbus Blue Jackets on the road. It easily could have been a win for them without some critical mistakes, as they played well enough overall to earn a win. They had more shots, more scoring chances, and largely outplayed Columbus outside of those few…

With Joel Edmundson returning to the lineup, the Montreal Canadiens find themselves in a challenging situation roster-wise. Fortunately for them, Evgenii Dadonov was put on injured reserve (IR) with a virus on the day Edmundson was activated for play, temporarily giving the Habs some space. However, Dadonov is due back next week, and to keep the…

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Canadiens were about to line up for the opening faceoff of the third period Thursday in a 1-1 tie with the Buffalo Sabres, when Nick Suzuki decided to pay a little visit to an unlikely visitor. He skated over to rookie defenceman Kaiden Guhle and gave him a task. "Zukes came up to me and said, 'It would be a good time to score…

The evaluation continued for Martin St. Louis and his staff on Saturday in Bouctouche, N.B., where the Montreal Canadiens played their eighth and final pre-season game and fell 3-2 in overtime to the Ottawa Senators. Just how complete it is now for the coach and his assistants, though, is questionable. That he couldn't ice a lineup that fully…

The Montreal Canadiens are in an enviable position, with priority selecting players off waivers until Nov. 1. However, to benefit, they have to use it just right, targeting players at specific positions, players with specific profiles to boot. To do otherwise would be to arguably squander the advantage altogether. As teams finalize their rosters to…

Montreal Canadiens training camp has been very fast paced and competitive thus far. Having finished dead last in the standings last season, they find themselves in a situation where changes are to be expected. After all, it is said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results,…

BROSSARD - Prospects like Kaiden Guhle and Arber Xhekaj may act coy when asked about the openings on the Canadiens blue line this season, but rest assured, they're well aware of what's at stake. As it stands, Kaiden Guhle seems to be pencilled as the front runner for one of the jobs, as well as Justin Barron, whose greatest advantage doesn't…

MONTREAL - It's Day 1 of a new Montreal Canadiens season with nowhere for the team to go but up. They finished in 32 place last year - in the unenviable position of having to stare up at every other team in the NHL - and though the brass wouldn't mind if they repeated the feat for the best odds at landing generational talent Connor Bedard to add to…
