Alexandre Texier - Contributes two helpers Texier notched two assists and two shots on goal in Monday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact Texier now has four multi-point efforts over seven games in January, earning four goals and six assists so far this month. The 26-year-old is clearly benefiting from his even-strength role alongside Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield, as well as a spot on the top power-play unit. Texier is up to a total of 17 points, 48 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-7 rating over 32 appearances between the Canadiens and the Blues this season, but 16 of those points have come since he joined Montreal.

Nick Suzuki - Earns pair of assists Suzuki notched two assists, including one on the power play, and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact Suzuki is in a six-game goal drought, matching his longest of the season, but he's still earned five helpers in that span. The 26-year-old center has only one stretch of two contests without a point all season, providing steady offense in a top-line spot. He's earned 50 points (23 on the power play), 99 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 35 hits and a plus-18 rating over 46 appearances.

Mike Matheson - 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.

Oliver Kapanen - Tallies again Monday Kapanen scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact Kapanen has been excellent to start January with five goals and two assists over seven games this month.

Josh Anderson - Will take warm-up Anderson (upper body) will be on the ice for warmups before a decision is made regarding his availability against Washington on Tuesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Anderson has been on the shelf for the Habs' lineup since Jan. 1 versus the Hurricanes, a stretch of six games on the sidelines. If Anderson does return to action, it will likely be in a bottom-six role that could see Sammy Blais or Owen Beck dropped from the lineup as a healthy scratch.

Alexandre Carrier - Lights lamp twice in win Carrier scored two goals in Monday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact The two tallies came 20 seconds apart in the second period. Carrier snapped a 43-game goal drought with the surprising performance, with his only other goal on the season coming in the Habs' second game Oct. 9. The 29-year-old blueliner doesn't get paid for his offense, however. Through 46 games, Carrier's produced 14 points, 100 blocked shots, 33 shots on net, 20 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-3 rating.

Juraj Slafkovský - Three-point effort against Canucks Slafkovsky produced a goal and two assists in Monday's 6-3 win over Vancouver.

Impact It's the second time in the last nine games that Slafkovsky has come through with a season-best three points. The 21-year-old in thriving on a line with 20-year-old rookie Ivan Demidov, and over the last 12 contests Slafkovsky has delivered eight goals and 18 points with 20 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, 13 hits, 22 PIM and a plus-10 rating.

Impact The three points tied his season high, with his other three-point performance (one goal, two assists) also coming against Vancouver back on Oct. 25. Demidov has gone eight straight games without finding the back of the net, but the 20-year-old continues to lead all rookies with 39 points (10 goals and 29 helpers) through 46 games.

Jakub Dobes - Carried to win Monday Dobes made 20 saves in Monday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact The game was tied 3-3 through two periods, but Montreal dominated the final 20 minutes to hand Dobes the win. The 24-year-old has made only five starts over the last month as part of the Habs' three-man committee between the pipes, but he's gotten the job done when called upon, going 4-0-1 with a 2.56 GAA and .893 save percentage.
