Jakub Dobes - Makes 20 saves Monday Dobes stopped 20 of 23 shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets. He also conceded two goals during the shootout.

Impact Dobes didn't have his best performance, but the struggles between the pipes have been a trend for the 24-year-old of late. Dobes has gone four consecutive outings posting a save percentage of .870 or lower, so it's hard for fantasy managers to trust Dobes right now, regardless of who the Canadiens are facing when he's protecting the Canadiens' crease.

Oliver Kapanen - Finds twine Monday Kapanen scored a goal in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Kapanen found the back of the net at the 4:47 mark of the second period with a wrister. That was Kapanen's seventh goal of the season, and that tally also snapped a three-game point drought for the 22-year-old. Kapanen endured a slow start to the season but seems to be turning things around with three goals over Montreal's last six games.

Lane Hutson - Fills box score Monday Hutson recorded a goal, an assist, a plus-2 rating, five shots, two hits and a blocked shot in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Hutson ended up being the Canadiens' most reliable offensive weapon and participated directly in two of the team's three goals. Despite his role as a blueliner, Hutson tends to get involved regularly on offense, which goes to explain why he also holds a role in the first power-play unit. Hutson has eight points (one goal, seven assists) in his last 10 games, a span where he's also notched a minus-4 rating, 16 shots on goal, six hits and 15 blocked shots.

Marc Del Gaizo - Headed to AHL Del Gaizo was loaned to AHL Laval on Tuesday.

Impact Del Gaizo was recalled from the minors Monday, so his stint with the big club didn't last long. The 2019 fourth-round pick has yet to appear in a game with the Canadiens this season. It's possible he's promoted again soon due to the team now having only six healthy blueliners on the roster, unless Montreal is interested in recalling someone else to fill a depth role.

Alex Newhook - Placed on injured reserve Newhook (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Newhook underwent surgery to repair a fractured ankle Friday that carries a return timetable of approximately four months, so his move to injured reserve isn't surprising. Prior to sustaining his injury, he had recorded six goals, six assists, 26 hits, eight PIM and five blocked shots while averaging 14:38 of ice time over 17 appearances.
