Scores go-ahead goal Matheson scored a goal on two shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Monday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact Matheson's tally 29 seconds into the third period put the Canadiens ahead for good. The defenseman has three points over his last three games, and he's up to five goals, 16 helpers, 58 shots on net, 95 blocks, 29 hits and a plus-9 rating through 43 appearances this season. Matheson doesn't have the same scoring pop as Lane Hutson or Noah Dobson, but he's still productive enough to help in fantasy.

Bags two apples in win Matheson notched two assists and two blocked shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.

Impact Matheson snapped a four-game slump with the pair of helpers. He's up to 20 points, 54 shots on net, 26 hits, 91 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 41 appearances. Matheson remains heavily relied on in a top-four role, providing a little physical play and steady work in his own zone as one of Montreal's pillars on the blue line.

Set to return Saturday Matheson (upper body) is expected to play against St. Louis on Saturday, per Guillaume Lefrancois of a Presse.

Impact Matheson has four goals, 18 points, 18 PIM, 49 shots, 23 hits and 83 blocks in 37 appearances this season. He's returning after a one-game absence due to the injury. Matheson's return will likely lead to Adam Engstrom being a healthy scratch Saturday.

Late scratch Thursday Matheson will miss Thursday's game against Carolina because of an upper-body injury.

Impact Matheson has four goals, 18 points, 18 PIM, 23 hits and 83 blocks in 37 appearances in 2025-26. Jayden Struble was already expected to draw into the lineup after being a healthy scratch Tuesday. However, Adam Engstrom was originally projected to head to the press box to accommodate Struble's inclusion, but Engstrom will instead remain in the lineup due to Matheson's absence.

Garners assist in shootout loss Matheson logged an assist, three shots on goal and four blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Penguins.

Impact Matheson recently missed two games due to an upper-body injury, and this was his second contest back in the lineup. He's immediately stepped back into a massive role on the top pairing, so it's safe to assume he's close to 100 percent. The defenseman has been a pleasant surprise this season with 17 points, 43 shots on net, 73 blocks, 23 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 34 outings, though he has just three helpers over his last 13 appearances.

Good to go Matheson (upper body) will return to the lineup against Pittsburgh on Saturday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact After missing the past two games, Matheson will replace Jayden Struble in Saturday's lineup. The 31-year-old Matheson has compiled four goals, 16 points, 39 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and 22 hits through 32 appearances this season.

DECEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remains day-to-day Matheson (upper body) has been ruled out of Thursday's tilt against Chicago, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports.

Impact Matheson also sat out Tuesday's game against Philadelphia. The defenseman has four goals and 12 assists in 32 games this season. He has lost a lot of his fantasy value since Montreal added Noah Dobson via trade in the offseason, as Matheson is averaging only 17 seconds of power-play time this season. He could return as early as Saturday against Pittsburgh.

Liveblog: Jacob Fowler in, Mike Matheson out for Canadiens vs. Flyers The Montreal Canadiens look to follow up their "best game of the season" against the Philadelphia Flyers at the Bell Centre on Tuesday.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • MONTREALGAZETTE.COM

Won't play against Flyers Matheson will be sidelined for Tuesday's clash with Philadelphia with an undisclosed injury, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Matheson is considered day-to-day, so he may not be out long-term. After racking up 62 points in 82 regular-season games back in 2023-24, the veteran blueliner managed a mere 31 points last year and seems closer to that level of production in 2025-26. In his last nine outings, the Quebec native has managed just one point while generating 12 shots and 18 blocks.
