The 24-year-old has three assists over 18 appearances since the start of December. Struble is at seven helpers, 12 shots on net, 69 hits, 36 PIM, 17 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 37 appearances this season. With the Canadiens' blue line at full strength, Struble and Arber Xhekaj are most often competing for one spot in the lineup.

Kaiden Guhle - Nabs first assist since return Guhle notched an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

Impact Guhle was sidelined for 39 games due to a groin injury, and his helper Tuesday was his first point in five appearances since he returned. He's at three points, 13 shots on net, 11 PIM, 22 hits, 10 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 10 contests. Guhle will likely be in the lineup a majority of the time, though he was scratched once since he returned to help manage his workload.

Alexandre Carrier - Scores again in win Carrier scored a goal on five shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

Impact Carrier has four goals over his last five games. The 29-year-old defenseman isn't known for his offense, but he's finding ways to contribute from a bottom-four role on the blue line. He's up to five goals, 16 points, 40 shots on net, 113 blocked shots, 22 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-3 rating across 50 appearances this season. Carrier looks to be a fixture in the lineup thanks to his shutdown skills.

Phillip Danault - Finally gets first goal of season Danault scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

Impact Danault tied the game at 1-1 with his goal at 15:22 of the first period. The 32-year-old center had been snakebit all season, though he's shown life on offense with six points over his last nine games. The center is at one goal, 10 assists, 62 shots on net, 34 hits, 22 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 44 appearances between the Canadiens and the Kings this season.

Sean Farrell - Puts up three points Tuesday Farrell scored twice and added an assist in AHL Laval's 4-3 win over Abbotsford on Tuesday.

Impact Farrell is up to 10 goals and 33 points through 39 outings this season. He had hit a quiet stretch recently with a goal and two assists over his previous six contests. The 24-year-old winger continues to play well for Laval as he awaits a chance to contribute for the Canadiens.

Jakub Dobes - Third straight win Dobes made 16 saves in a 4-3 win over the Wild on Tuesday.

Impact It's Dobes' third straight win, although that's the extent of games he's played in January. Such was the peril of a three-headed goalie monster, but Jacob Fowler was returned to the AHL a few days ago. Dobes now has sole possession of the second seat, and he could be a solid daily play depending on the matchup. Overall, he's 15-5-3 with a 3.01 GAA and .887 save percentage.

Cole Caufield - Another clutch performance Caufield scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-3 win over the Wild.

Impact His one-timer with 15 seconds remaining in regulation sealed the win. Caufield is clutch -- he has 21 game-winning goals in the third period or overtime since he entered the league in 2020-21. Caufield has 25 goals, 24 assists, seven game-winning goals, 17 power-play points and 147 shots in 50 games this season. He sits third in team scoring behind Nick Suzuki (55) and Lane Hutson (52).

Ivan Demidov - Three-game, four-point streak Demidov delivered two assists Tuesday in a 4-3 win over the Wild.

Impact Demidov is on a three-game, four-point scoring streak that includes three assists, and he has seven points (one goal, six assists) in his last five contests. He has eight shots on his current streak and 12 shots in his last five contests. Demidov's 43 points (50 games) put him on top of the rookie scoring list, five points ahead of the second-place Beckett Sennecke, who has 38 points.

6 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Lane Hutson - Three-game, seven-point streak Hutson scored a goal and added an assist Tuesday in a 4-3 victory over Minnesota.

Impact Hutson is on a three-game, seven-point scoring streak (one goal, six assists), and he sits second overall on the Canadiens with nine goals and 52 points (50 games). Last season, just three defenders finished the season with at least a point-per-game. Cale Makar led that charge, followed by Zach Werenski and Quinn Hughes. This season, only four are roaring along at a point-per-game pace: Werenksi, Makar, Hutson and Darren Raddysh.
