Could train next week Demidov (foot) skated Tuesday and could resume training with the team next week, Patrick Friolet of RDS reports.

Impact Demidov has been on injured reserve since Oct. 6, and he initially received a return timetable of 2-4 weeks. He's now at the end of that estimate, and while it's encouraging to see him skating on his own, he's still in a walking boot, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet. Demidov appears likely to miss at least a few more games, but another step in his recovery will occur once he's officially cleared to practice with his teammates.

Lands on injured reserve Demidov (lower body) was placed on injured reserve by the Canadiens on Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Demidov's placement on injured reserve is simply procedural after the Canadiens announced Tuesday that he'll be sidelined for 2-4 weeks due to a lower-body injury. The 20-year-old appeared in all 82 regular-season games for Montreal last year and recorded 19 goals, 43 assists, 34 PIM, 28 hits and 26 blocked shots while averaging 15:30 of ice time.

OCTOBER 6 • NHL.COM

Facing multi-week absence The Canadiens announced Tuesday that Demidov will be out for 2-4 weeks due to a lower-body injury.

Impact Demidov didn't participate in Monday's practice session due to what the team labeled a therapy day, and his injury will ultimately force him to miss multiple weeks. Across his first two regular-season appearances this year, he recorded a goal, an assist, three hits and two PIM while averaging 15:37 of ice time.

One of each in OT loss Demidov scored a goal, distributed an assist and put three shots on net in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Demidov got on the board in 2026-27 with a pair of points in the heart of the Canadiens' comeback effort Saturday. After pitching in with a secondary helper on Chris Kreider's first goal with the Habs, Demidov continued his heroic effort with the game-tying goal with less than one minute remaining in regulation. The 20-year-old winger had a phenomenal rookie campaign in 2025-26, compiling 19 goals, 62 points and 127 shots on net across 82 regular-season games. He's a near lock to see top-six minutes moving forward, giving him a high ceiling in fantasy as a key piece in Montreal's offense.

Impact Demidov battled a foot issue throughout the preseason. The 20-year-old will begin 2026-27 on the second line, but he should also be a regular presence on the power play. Demidov had 19 goals and 43 assists over 82 regular-season games as a rookie last year.

Takes second maintenance day Demidov (foot) was deemed day-to-day, but is not expected to miss the start of the regular season, per Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette.

Impact While Demidov was originally planning to resume skating Thursday, he took a second therapy day to fully heal up after taking a shot off the foot in Monday's preseason game.The 20-year-old right winger is expected to be a large part of Montreal's future plans after signing an eight-year, $73 million contract extension back in July. He showcased his bundle of potential during the 2025-26 campaign, where he posted 19 goals, 62 points and 127 shots on net across 82 regular-season outings. Barring any setbacks, Demidov will likely make an impact in all fantasy formats to open the 2026-27 campaign.
