Kevin Labanc - Adds helper in loss Labanc notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Canadiens.
Impact Labanc has four helpers over his last three games, helping out on a Dante Fabbro tally in Saturday's contest. While he's been fairly productive in a limited role, Labanc has not played in more than four consecutive games yet this season, so he may still be at risk of an occasional healthy scratch. The winger has 10 points, 16 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-5 rating over 13 appearances despite averaging 11:22 of ice time. He's already surpassed the nine points he collected in 46 games with the Sharks last season.

Arber Xhekaj - Assist, fight in win Xhekaj recorded an assist, two blocked shots, five PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Xhekaj was busy in the second period, fighting Mathieu Olivier before helping out on Nick Suzuki's tally shortly after serving his major penalty. The helper was Xhekaj's first point of the campaign. He's added 30 hits, 19 PIM, 12 blocked shots, 13 shots on goal and a minus-3 rating over 15 appearances. The 23-year-old defenseman could have some stability in the lineup if David Savard (upper body) is out beyond missing Saturday's contest.

Lucas Condotta - Scores first goal of season Condotta scored a goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Condotta's third-period tally gave the Canadiens a little breathing room, stretching their lead to 3-1. It was his first point in five games this season, to go with three shots on net, six hits and three blocked shots. Condotta is competing with Michael Pezzetta for the last spot on the fourth line, and it's a battle the former is currently winning, but it won't lead to much production for fantasy purposes.

Josh Anderson - Finds twine Saturday Anderson scored a goal and added four hits in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Anderson scored the final goal of the game, capping off a stretch of three goals in 4:51 for the Canadiens in the third period. The winger has been steady with four points, seven shots on net and 14 hits over his last five contests. For the season, he's up to four goals, five assists, 25 shots, 44 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 18 outings in a middle-six role with minimal power-play time.

Jake Evans - Scores in Saturday's win Evans scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Impact Evans had been limited to two assists and three shots on net over his previous eight games. The 28-year-old provided an insurance tally in the third period as the Canadiens ran away with the win. Evans is up to three goals, eight points, 18 shots on net, 23 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 18 outings this season. He's currently in a second-line role, but that could change if Kirby Dach is moved out of a first-line wing spot.
