Canadiens vs. Capitals - News - October 14, 2026 | FOX Sports

Alex Newhook - Produces two assists in loss Newhook notched two assists and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Newhook earned his first multi-point effort of the season with this one. He's up to a goal, three helpers, eight shots on net, seven hits, six blocked shots and a minus-2 rating across seven outings. The 25-year-old was on his way to a breakout campaign last year before it got derailed by injuries. If he can produce around a 50-point pace this year, he'll be a decent depth forward in fantasy.

Nick Suzuki - Pots power-play goal Suzuki scored a power-play goal on three shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Suzuki's tally got the Canadiens within a goal late in the third period, but they weren't able to tie it. The 27-year-old center is up to four goals, five assists, 20 shots, 11 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over seven contests this season. Remarkably, his goal Wednesday was his first power-play point of the campaign. Once he gets rolling with the man advantage, he'll be a true force on offense as he looks to repeat his 101-point regular season from last year.

Lane Hutson - Goal, assist in loss Hutson scored a goal on three shots, added a power-play assist and logged two PIM in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Hutson individually did better than his younger brother, Washington's Cole Hutson, but the Canadiens came up short as a team. The Montreal blueliner has gotten off to a positive start in 2026-27 with two goals, six assists, 16 shots on net, six blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over seven appearances. Hutson already has three multi-point efforts this season and should continue to be a steady source of offense thanks to his spot on the top power-play unit.

Josh Anderson - Two more goals in Wednesday's loss Anderson scored twice on three shots and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Anderson has three goals over his last two games. The winger is clicking well with Alex Newhook and Chris Kreider on the second line, allowing Montreal to keep its best top line together. Anderson is up to four goals, two assists, 15 shots on net, 15 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-4 rating across seven appearances this season. He's twice reached the 20-goal mark in his career, and that's a level that's not out of the question this year if he continues to play in the Canadiens' top six.

Jakub Dobes - Struggles against Capitals Dobes stopped 18 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.

Impact Dobes' playing time is already trending down with Jacob Fowler looking good after a call-up to replace Sam Montembeault (lower body). This was Dobes' third consecutive defeat, and he's 1-2-1 on the year with at least five goals allowed in all three of his losses. The 25-year-old netminder entered the campaign as the Canadiens' No. 1, but he's quickly losing his grip on that job. The Canadiens are set to host the Sabres on Saturday, a team Fowler defeated in a shootout on Tuesday.

Ilya Protas - Supplies pair of assists Protas notched two assists, including one on the power play, and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Protas picked up his first career power-play point when he set up Ivan Miroshnichenko's goal late in the first period. While he's yet to score a goal of his own in 2026-27, Protas has four helpers, five shots on net, four blocked shots, two hits and a minus-1 rating over seven appearances. The 20-year-old looks set to maintain his place in the lineup as a top-nine forward.

Justin Holl - Tallies again Wednesday Holl scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Holl has scored in consecutive contests. That's a rarity for most defensemen, let alone one like Holl who is battling just to stay in the lineup. He's added two shots on net, one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating over his two appearances with the Capitals this season. Expect the 34-year-old to fill a third-pairing role as long as he stays in the lineup.
