Arber Xhekaj - Struggling on offense Xhekaj's point drought reached 16 games in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Xhekaj has 29 PM and 34 hits in that span, so he's still supplying plenty of the rough stuff. The 23-year-old defenseman has a bit of short-term security in the lineup after Jayden Struble was sent to AHL Laval on a conditioning loan Friday. Xhekaj has just five points to go with 110 hits, 72 PIM, 47 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 45 appearances this season.

Brendan Gallagher - Adds helper in loss Gallagher notched an assist and four hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Gallagher has earned three points over his last three games, matching his total from the prior 15 contests. His role hasn't changed -- he's still on the third line -- so it may be tough for him to sustain his recent success. The winger is up to 20 points, 85 shots on net, 53 hits, 23 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 48 outings this season.

Jayden Struble - Begins conditioning assignment Struble was assigned to AHL Laval on a conditioning assignment Friday.

Impact Struble hasn't appeared in a game for the Canadiens since a win over the Capitals on Jan. 10, but he should have a chance to see some ice time while he's with the AHL club. The 23-year-old will likely rejoin Montreal following a brief stint in the minors.

Patrik Laine - Streak reaches four games Laine had an assist and two shots on net in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Detroit.

Impact Laine assisted on Kaiden Guhle's goal that closed Detroit's lead to 4-2. It was the fourth consecutive game on the scoresheet for Laine, who has two goals and four assists during that stretch. He's logged just 20 games for Montreal this season, but Laine's been prolific with 12 goals (nine on the power play) and six assists when healthy.

Christian Dvorak - Helps in loss Dvorak had an assist and one shot on net in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact Dvorak was part of a flurry of sticks and bodies in front of Cam Talbot that eventually led to Kirby Dach's wraparound goal early in the second period. It was the third point in the last three games for Dvorak, who had two-point night in a win over the Rangers earlier in the week. The third-line center isn't known as a prolific offensive force, but Dvorak was recently added to one of the power-play units and has averaged nearly two minutes per game while Montreal is up a skater.

The Canadiens return to action Saturday night at home against New Jersey.
