Canadiens' Alexandre Carrier: Nabs assist Monday
Carrier logged an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and five blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals in Game 1.
Carrier was limited to two assists and a minus-4 rating over the last 13 games of the regular season. He's still in a top-four role for the Canadiens, but he's likely to be deployed in more of a shutdown role during postseason play. The 28-year-old had 25 points, 82 shots on net, 169 blocked shots, 75 hits and a minus-10 rating over 79 regular-season outings between Montreal and Nashville in 2024-25.

Canadiens' Patrik Laine: Earns helper in playoff opener
Laine logged a power-play assist, five shots on goal, three hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals in Game 1.
Laine snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. The winger took a shot that led to a second chance for Cole Caufield to bury midway through the third period. Laine was a big threat on the power play during the regular season, earning 19 of his 33 points, as well as 15 of his 20 goals, with the man advantage over 52 games. That said, his even-strength role has been fairly limited in Montreal, so he'll need to stay productive on the power play to make an impact.

Canadiens' Cole Caufield: Strikes on power play
Caufield scored a power-play goal on five shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals in Game 1.
Caufield has four goals and four assists over his last 10 contests. He hasn't recorded a multi-point effort since March 15 versus the Panthers, but Caufield's consistency on the top line and first power-play unit make him an important part of the Canadiens' offense. He finished the regular season with his first 70-point campaign (37 goals, 33 assists) while adding 240 shots on net and a plus-9 rating over 82 appearances.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Forces overtime in Game 1
Suzuki scored a goal on seven shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals in Game 1.
Suzuki tied the game at 2-2 with 4:15 left in the third period, capitalizing with a patient shot after Logan Thompson got out of position. While the Canadiens were able to dig out of a 2-0 hole from earlier in the game, Alex Ovechkin sealed the Capitals' win just 2:26 into overtime. Suzuki racked up an eye-popping 15 goals and 37 points over the last 26 games of the regular season, and his momentum has carried over into the playoffs, though Montreal faces an uphill battle.

Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Two helpers in Game 1 loss
Hutson picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals in Game 1 of their first-round series.
Both helpers came in the third period as the Canadiens rallied from a 2-0 deficit, but Alex Ovechkin ended any thoughts of an upset with the OT winner. Hutson put his name in the record books with an incredible rookie season, and the 21-year-old blueliner will be key to any chances of a Montreal comeback in the series, beginning with Game 2 on Wednesday.

Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Falls to Caps in OT
Montembeault made 29 saves in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals in Game 1 of their first-round series.
Washington took a 2-0 lead midway through the second period, but Montembeault stood tall in the third as Montreal rallied to tie it up -- only for Alex Ovechkin to tap home the winner in OT. After a regular season in which Montembeault nearly doubled his career-best win total to 31 and recorded four of his five career shutouts, the 28-year-old netminder will need to come up big if the Habs are going to even the series Wednesday.

Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Set for playoff debut
Montembeault will guard the road goal in Game 1 versus Washington on Monday, according to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Montembeault will make his first NHL playoff start after posting a 31-24-7 record with four shutouts, a 2.82 GAA and a .901 save percentage across 62 regular-season appearances in 2024-25. He allowed four goals on 35 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Capitals on Dec. 7. Washington finished second in the league with 3.49 goals per game in the 2024-25 regular season.

Canadiens' Jake Evans: Deposits empty-netter
Evans scored an empty-net goal in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
Evans ended a 21-game goal drought with the empty-netter. In that span, he had seven assists, 20 shots on net, 32 hits and 21 blocked shots. The 28-year-old defensive forward will likely continue in a bottom-six role in the Canadiens' first-round series versus the Capitals. Evans ended the regular season with a career-best year of 13 goals, 23 assists, 80 shots on net, 124 hits, 60 blocks and a plus-1 rating over 82 appearances. Six of his 36 points came shorthanded.

Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Ties NHL record in finale
Hutson picked up an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
When the 21-year-old helped set up Kaiden Guhle for the game-winner in the second period -- a goal that ultimately clinched a playoff spot for the Canadiens -- it gave Hutson his 60th assist of the season, tying the NHL record for rookie defensemen set by Larry Murphy in 1980-81. Hutson's mark of 66 points on the campaign is also tied for the fourth-most in history by a first-year blueliner, matching Phil Housley's total from 1982-83, and it establishes a new franchise-best mark, topping Chris Chelios' 64 points from 1984-85.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Pots goal No. 30
Suzuki scored a goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
The 25-year-old center was involved in Montreal's first two goals of the night, with his own tally being his 30th of the season -- the second straight campaign Suzuki has reached that milestone. He wraps up an impressive regular season with a career-high 89 points and plus-19 rating, and he'll head into a first-round matchup against the Capitals with a full head of steam, having delivered six multi-point performances in the last 10 games while racking up eight goals and 15 points.

Canadiens' Kaiden Guhle: Plays hero with two-goal effort
Guhle scored two goals, one the game-winner, in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over the Hurricanes.
With the win, the Canadiens locked up the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference and booked a ticket to a first-round matchup against the Capitals. Guhle hadn't found the back of the net since Jan. 23, and the timely multi-goal performance was the first of his career. The 23-year-old blueliner wraps up the regular season with six goals, 18 points, 104 hits, 124 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating in 55 appearances.

Canadiens' Sam Montembeault: Locks up playoff spot with win
Montembeault made 27 saves in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
Facing a Carolina team that was resting a number of key skaters, Montembeault was more than up to the task of clinching a playoff spot for Montreal in its final regular-season game. The 28-year-old will head into a first-round playoff matchup against the Capitals with plenty of momentum -- over his last eight starts, Montembeault has gone 6-1-1 with a 2.11 GAA and .922 save percentage.
