With the six pre-season games now behind them, the Canadiens put the final touches on the roster that will open the season. Five players were removed from the training camp roster to comply with the maximum of 23. Owen Beck, Adam Engström, and Florian Xhekaj, all of whom are exempt from waivers, were reassigned to the Laval Rocket. Goaltender Kaapo Kähkönen and forward Sammy Blais were placed…

The Montreal Canadiens lost one of two players they placed on waivers on Sunday, as forward Samuel Blais was claimed by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Blais spent last season with the Abbotsford Canucks, winning a Calder Cup, and will now reunite with his former coach when he was with the St. Louis Blues, Craig Berube. Losing Blais is unfortunate for the Laval Rocket, but the Canadiens have…

The Montreal Canadiens wrapped up their preseason calendar on Saturday night with a 3-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators. For the better part of 60 minutes, it looked like just about everyone on the ice was more interested in keeping themselves off the injury list than trying to do anything special. It wasn’t all that surprising to see after how violent their previous meeting was, and it seems the…

Start time: 7:00 PM EDT / 4:00 PM PDT In Canada: Sportsnet (English), TVA Sports (French) Streaming: ESPN+, Sportsnet+ There’s light at the end of the tunnel. The 2024-25 Montreal Canadiens weren’t supposed to make the playoffs. Despite a professed desire to be “in the mix,” the post-season was still a goal, an aspiration, not an expectation. Yet by late April…

To end the 2023-24 season, the Montreal Canadiens tried to play spoiler versus a Detroit Red Wings team aiming to prevent its playoff drought from reaching eight years. The best Montreal could muster in the two-game series was taking those games to overtime, and losing on both occasions. Despite the wins to tie the Washington Capitals in points, Detroit didn’t hold the tiebreaker and missed out…

The Montreal Victoire have announced that they have signed first-round pick Nicole Gosling to a three-year contract on Friday. Gosling was drafted in the first round, fourth overall of the 2025 PWHL Draft and will look to play a big role on the team after they lost Cayla Barnes, Anna Wilgren, and Mariah Keopple from last year’s team. Gosling, 23, is a left-shot which complements fellow…

They don’t ask how, they ask how many, and as of last night the answer to that question is two wins in the first three games for the Montreal Canadiens. It wasn’t the prettiest of games, but they got the job done against the Chicago Blackhawks, and get to head home for a four-game stand at the Bell Centre. All things considered, a pretty good start to their season. If there is one gripe…

The Laval Rocket’s opening contest of the season on Friday night did not go to plan for a side expecting big things this year. They fell 4-1 to the Manitoba Moose in a game where it was clear the team was not at their best quite yet. The good news is their rematch came swiftly as they squared off with the Moose once again on Sunday afternoon. Pascal Vincent shuffled his lineup slightly with…

After a three-game road trip to start their season, the Montreal Canadiens were back at the Bell Centre for their home opener on Tuesday night. Hosting a Seattle Kraken squad that had already won their first two games, it was a very tight game that ended up going all the way to overtime before a winner was determined. And that game never would have made it to overtime without the dynamic…
