Scores twice in loss Newhook scored two goals on three shots in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Newhook has four points over three games since he returned from a long-term ankle injury. He had a breakout campaign going before the absence, and he's picked it right back up. The 25-year-old forward is up to eight goals, 16 points, 28 shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-9 rating over 20 appearances this season. He's in a bottom-six role for now, though he's also seeing power-play time, so there is still a bit of upside to be had.

Returning Thursday Newhook (ankle) will be in the lineup versus the Islanders on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Newhook will suit up for the first time since Nov. 13 against Dallas, a stretch of 40 games on injured reserve due to his ankle problem. While the 25-year-old center will slot into a bottom-six role, he should also see time with the second power-play unit. Prior to getting hurt, Newhook was having a solid 2025-26 campaign, racking up six goals and six helpers in 17 appearances.

Undergoes surgery Friday Newhook had surgery to repair a fractured ankle Friday and will be sidelined for four months.

Impact Based on his timeline, Newhook figures to be out of action until at least mid-March. It's a huge blow for the 24-year-old center, who was putting together a solid season with 12 points in 17 games -- numbers that could have seen him top the 40-point threshold for the first time in his NHL career. Fantasy managers can likely expect Newhook to be placed on injured reserve in the coming days.

Sustains apparent lower-body injury Newhook sustained a lower-body injury and won't return to Thursday's game versus the Stars.

Impact The Canadiens didn't provide any additional details, but Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports Newhook's right leg bent awkwardly on the play that led to his exit from the game. Given the nature of the injury, this may be a case of how long he's out rather than hoping he's just day-to-day. He'll be evaluated further ahead of Saturday's game versus the Bruins.
