Alex Belzile - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Joins party in blowout win Belzile scored a goal on one shot and added one hit over 14:13 of ice time in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Belzile scored Montreal's seventh goal midway through the third period, snapping a seven-game drought with his fifth tally. The 31-year-old is unlikely to become an everyday player for the Canadiens next season, but in the here and now, Belzile is healthy and contributing from the fourth line with 13 points over 27 contests.

Makes it three in a row Belzile scored a goal on two shots over 10:16 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Rangers.

Impact Belzile corralled a puck in the neutral zone and went straight to the net, beating Igor Shesterkin over the stick-side shoulder. It was the third consecutive game with a goal for the fourth-line forward, giving him 10 points over 19 games since AHL Laval's captain was called up to the NHL. He and Rafael Harvey-Pinard (eight goals, 21 games) have given Montreal a jolt since joining the team.

One of each in loss Belzile scored a goal on his lone shot and assisted on another in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to Carolina. He also had a two-minute minor over 9:38 of ice time.

Impact Belzile put the Canadiens on top midway through the first period when he banged home a rebound of a Michael Pezzetta shot for his second goal in as many games. The fourth-line forward had an eight-game stretch without a point before the current two-game scoring binge. In total, Belzile has nine points in 18 games since being called up from AHL Laval. Montreal has several injured forwards, some likely done for the year, but guys like Kirby Dach (lower body), Brendan Gallagher (lower body) and Jake Evans (lower body) are all projected back within the next week. That could push Belzile out of a regular gig.

Puts away goal in loss Belzile scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact The tally ended an eight-game point drought for Belzile, and it came just 23 seconds after Ivan Barbashev gave the Golden Knights a 4-1 lead. Belzile remains in a bottom-six role with virtually no power-play time, so he's unlikely to interest most fantasy managers. He's picked up two goals, five assists, 22 shots on net, 14 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 17 appearances this season.

Logs primary assist Belzile had an assist, four shots on goal and one blocked shot over 11:16 of ice time in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Belzile has registered points in five of seven games since being called up from AHL Laval. He's strictly a fourth liner at this point, but if Montreal can flip veterans, such as Evgenii Dadonov, Jonathan Drouin and Mike Hoffman at the trade deadline, Belzile could be in line for additional TOI.

Impact Even if fully fit, Belzile was unlikely to ever get into a postseason game, so his absence figure to go unnoticed by fantasy players. The winger notched 14 points in 20 games for AHL Laval and should probably be considered a long shot to make the 23-man roster for Opening Night of the 2020-21 campaign.
