Scores accidentally Slafkovsky scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Pittsburgh. He finished with five shots and two hits over 17:09 of ice time.

Impact Slafkovsky attempted a pass but it instead hit Ryan Graves and redirected into the net. It was Slafkovsky's seventh goal of the season and third over the last seven games. Four of his last five points have come on the power play.

Moved off top line Slafkovsky had a power-play assist and two hits over 12:44 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

Impact Slafkovsky was removed from the top line but remained part of the top power-play unit and recorded his second power-play helper in three contests. He was productive while skating with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, but Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis tweaked the lines in the wake of a three-game losing, which included two losses to Ottawa and giving up nine goals to Boston. Slafkovsky joins a line that includes Sean Monahan, the Canadiens' hottest player, who has 10 points over the last six games.

Assists on power play Slafkovsky had a power-play assist, two shots and four hits over 20:06 of ice time in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Slafkovsky logged the secondary helper on Cole Caufield's tally that gave Montreal a 1-0 lead. It was the third point in the last four games for Slafkovsky. The 19-year-old does not look out of place on Montreal's top line and power-play unit. His 11 points over the last 17 games is a hopeful sign that a measured development process has worked.

Impact Slafkovsky opened the scoring midway through the first period.

It was the second consecutive game with a goal for the 19-year-old forward, who has 10 points over the last 15 contests.

Strikes on power play Slafkovsky scored a power-play goal in Monday's 4-3 win over Colorado. He finished with six shots and a block over 18:10 of ice time.

Impact Three minutes after the Avalanche opened the scoring with a power-play tally, the Canadiens added one of their own. Slafkovsky filled a void at the corner of the net, and Nick Suzuki found him to tie the game. Slafkovsky needed a couple of whacks at the puck, but he potted his first goal in 10 games. The six shots tied a season-high for the 19-year-old forward, who's experienced a period of growth since joining Montreal's top line.

Garners helper Slafkovsky had an assist and four hits over 19:08 of ice time in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flyers.

Impact Slafkovsky was originally awarded the goal but a review showed that David Savard's shot deflected off Philadelphia's Morgan Frost. The 19-year-old forward continues to shine since a move to Montreal's top line. Slafkovsky has eight points over the last 11 games, and he's third on the team overall with 63 hits through 40 contests.

Finishes productive road trip Slafkovsky had an assist, one shot on net, one blocked shot and two hits over 19:14 of ice time in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Dallas.

Impact Slafkovsky hounded Esa Lindell behind the goal line and with the help of a pinching Jordan Harris won a puck battle to set up Nick Suzuki for the Canadiens' first goal. It was the second straight game with an assist for Slafkovsky, who may have turned a corner during Montreal's extended holiday road trip. The 19-year-old forward logged six points (two goals, four assists) during the Canadiens' seven-game sojourn.

He's recently reaped the rewards of skating on the top line with Suzuki and Cole Caufield. The 19-year old forward has two goals and four assists over the last seven contests. Prior to this productive stretch, Slafkovsky had just seven points over his first 29 games.

Collects two points Friday Slafkovsky had a goal and an assist in Montreal's 5-2 win over Chicago on Friday.

Impact Slafkovsky earned his second straight multi-point game, bringing him up to four goals and 12 points in 33 contests this season. The 19-year-old sophomore has tremendous potential, so his current hot streak is a mere taste of what the future might have him store for him. As far as the 2023-24 campaign is concerned, though, Slafkovsky is likely to be an inconsistent offensive contributor and isn't a sure bet to even reach the 30-point mark.

Juraj Slafkovsky scores as Montreal Canadiens rally past Chicago Blackhawks 5-2

Two points in OT loss Slafkovsky picked up a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Minnesota.

Impact Both of Slafkovsky's points came in the third period, setting up Nick Suzuki's power-play marker 1:09 into the frame before adding a goal with three minutes left in the contest, deflecting a David Savard shot to tie the game 3-3. The goal was Slafkovsky's first in 13 games -- he had just three assists in that span despite working on Montreal's first line and top power-play unit. Overall, the 19-year-old winger has three goals and 10 points through 32 games in his second NHL season.

Logs assist in win Slafkovsky had one assist, three blocked shots and four hits over 19:26 of ice time in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Islanders.

Impact Slafkovsky was aggressive behind the New York net, forcing a turnover that led to Cole Caufield's tally. It was his first point in six games since joining the top line. The Canadiens are being patient with Slafkovsky, who has just eight points in 30 games but is making plays along the boards and in puck battles that don't always show up on the scoresheet.

Moves to top line Slafkovsky had one shot and two hits over 17:14 of ice time in Monday's 4-2 win over Seattle.

Impact Slafkovsky was moved to the top line with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield after a tweak of the line combinations. While his line score doesn't suggest a productive night, Slafkovsky is doing the things not seen in a box score, per Arpon Basu of The Athletic. "If you don't move your feet, it's hard to use your size," Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis said. "There's anticipation and understanding where the game's going, so I think he's anticipating really well and he gets there on time so he can use his body." St. Louis wanted to give the 19-year-old forward stable linemates this season to foster his development, but that luxury has not been available to the coach due to injuries. St. Louis has left him in a top-six environment, including power-play ice time, and while Slafkovsky's play has pleased the Canadiens' coaching staff, it hasn't yet paid fantasy dividends. Slafkovsky has two goals on 34 shots (5.9 shooting percentage) and five assists through 25 games.

Offensive surge continues Slafkovsky recorded an assist, three shots on goal and one blocked shot over 19:44 of ice time in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.

Impact After retrieving a rebound directed to the corner by goalie Cayden Primeau, Slafkovsky fed Cole Caufield then watched him go directly and beat Mackenzie Blackwood for the game-tying goal that set up overtime and the shootout. It was the fourth point (one goal, three assists) in the last five games for Slafkovsky, who was on the ice for both of Montreal's regulation tallies. Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis has exhibited patience with the 2022 first-overall pick, and it appears to be paying off.

Two points in loss Slafkovsky scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-2 loss to the Bruins.

Impact Slafkovsky was in the bumper and finished a feed from Nick Suzuki, who was behind the net. It was his first goal in seven games, and his second this season. So far, Slafkovsky has just six goals in 57 games over two seasons. That seems light on the surface, but he's still just 19 years of age. His release is like lightning, and his size is tantalizing. And there's plenty of time for him to become an NHL force. Remember -- Jack Hughes has about the same number of goals in the same number of games early in his career. He's no Jack Hughes, but he has the potential to be an NHL star.

Records assist in loss Slafkovsky had an assist, one shot on goal, one blocked shot and four hits over 14:23 of ice time in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Calgary.

Impact Slafkovsky picked up the secondary helper on Montreal's lone goal, his first point in five games. Unlocking the 2022 first-overall draft pick's offense has been a primary objective of Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis -- the coach is giving him stability in terms of TOI and linemates -- but Slafkovsky has just one goal on 24 shots and three points over 16 games.
