Two points in win Thursday Blais recorded a goal, an assist, two shots on goal and seven hits in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Blais hasn't been the most consistent forward this season, but his numbers have improved vastly since being acquired from waivers on Nov. 27. Aside from this being his first multi-point game of the season since doing so in an Oct. 29 loss to Columbus, he's also cracked the scoresheet in three of his five outings with Montreal. Seems like all he needed was a change of scenery to turn his season around.

Impact Blais has two points, nine hits and a plus-2 rating over two games since the Canadiens summoned him from AHL Laval. The 29-year-old Quebec native has slotted right into a fourth-line role, but he could move up if he stays productive. He's at two goals, five points, nine shots, 37 hits and six PIM over 10 appearances between Montreal and Toronto this year.

Logs helper Sunday Blais posted an assist, six hits and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Penguins.

Impact Blais was called up earlier in the day and slotted onto the fourth line in place of Jake Evans (lower body), who landed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. This was Blais' first game with the Canadiens after signing with the team in July, as he logged three points in eight games with the Maple Leafs following a waiver claim. Montreal claimed him back in late November. Blais' stay in the NHL could be short, as Phillip Danault (illness) will be with the Canadiens for Tuesday's game versus the Bruins.

Impact Blais is back in the NHL for the first time since returning to the Canadiens via waivers from Toronto.

Blais will likely draw into the lineup right away given the multitude of injuries to the Montreal forward group.

Claimed by Montreal Blais was claimed off waivers by the Canadiens from Toronto on Thursday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

Impact Blais was claimed by Toronto from Montreal before the start of the season and returns to the Habs, who inked him to a one-year contract July 1. Blais had a goal and two assists in eight games with Toronto and while the Canadiens could send him to AHL Laval, he could stick with the injury-riddled big club.

Impact Toronto also reassigned Jacob Quillan to AHL Toronto so that Auston Matthews and Nicolas Roy could be activated off injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's game against Columbus. Blais has a goal, three points and 28 hits in eight appearances with the Maple Leafs in 2025-26. He's expected to head to the minors if he goes unclaimed.

Avoids serious injury Blais (upper body) was back at practice Thursday, telling reporters, "We did some scans and I'm all good," David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Impact According to Blais, at one point, he was spitting out blood, but it seems he avoided any serious injury. With his assist versus the Blues on Tuesday, the 29-year-old winger brought his five-game pointless streak to a close. Once the Leafs start getting back some of their injured forwards, Blais will likely find himself serving as a healthy scratch. In the meantime, he figures to remain in a third-lone role alongside youngster Jacob Quillan.

Unable to finish game Blais (illness) did not finish Tuesday's game versus the Blues, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Blais was only in the lineup because Matthew Knies (lower body) wasn't able to play. Blais was coughing up blood, which forced his exit from the contest. His status for Thursday versus the Blue Jackets is not yet known.

Two points in team debut Blais scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and logged five hits in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Blais hadn't played in the Maple Leafs' first 10 games. However, injuries have started to pile up -- William Nylander (lower body) was unavailable in the second half of a back-to-back, Scott Laughton (lower body) and Calle Jarnkrok (lower body) remain out and Steven Lorentz left Wednesday's game with an upper-body injury. This could give Blais a chance in the lineup, and his two-point effort was a good first impression on the Toronto staff in a game where most players didn't do well.
