INJURIES
Deposits empty-netter in return Matheson scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Matheson missed four games due to a lower-body injury. He saw 20:15 of ice time Friday, fourth-most among Montreal blueliners. Now that he's healthy again, expect decent offense and all-around production from Matheson, enough to make him a depth option in fantasy. He has two points, 12 shots on net, 11 blocked shots, three hits, six PIM and a minus-2 rating over six outings this season.

Out Saturday Matheson (lower body) won't play against Buffalo on Saturday, according to Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette.
Impact Matheson also missed Montreal's previous two games. He has an assist, six PIM, two hits and 10 blocks in five appearances in 2026-27. Matheson should reclaim a top-four spot once he's ready to return.

Slated to miss Wednesday's game Matheson (lower body) is expected to miss Wednesday's game in Washington, per Marco D'Amico of BPM Sports.
Impact Matheson also missed Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over Buffalo due to the injury. He has an assist, six PIM, two hits and 10 blocks in five appearances with the Canadiens this season. Matheson is considered day-to-day, so he still might return to the lineup Saturday versus the Sabres. The 32-year-old should regain his top-four spot once he's healthy.

Ruled out against Sabres Matheson is dealing with a lower-body injury that will sideline him versus Buffalo on Tuesday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Matheson has yet to find the back of the net through five games this season while registering just one helper despite averaging 24:09 of ice time. With the 32-year-old blueliner on the shelf, the Habs will get back to utilizing just six defensemen, which means Owen Beck will get into the lineup Tuesday. With the team heading into a back-to-back, Matheson may be hard-pressed to get into the lineup against the Caps on Wednesday.

Nets goal in overtime loss Matheson scored a goal and blocked two shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Impact Matheson picked up his first point of the series when he tied the game at 1-1 in the first period. The defenseman has been fairly limited on offense this postseason with two goals, two assists, 20 shots on net, 20 hits, 45 blocked shots and 18 PIM over 17 contests. He continues to fill a top-four role while generating most of his production in the non-scoring areas.
