Samuel Blais - NHL News & Rumors

Lands on waivers Sunday Blais was placed on waivers by the Senators on Sunday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Impact Blais made 21 regular-season appearances between the Maple Leafs and Canadiens last year, logging three goals, five assists, 78 hits, 12 blocked shots and 10 PIM while averaging 8:26 of ice time. The 30-year-old will presumably head to AHL Belleville if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Impact Blais had 14 goals, 38 points and 62 PIM in 35 regular-season outings with AHL Laval in 2025-26. He also had three goals and eight points in 21 regular-season appearances between Toronto and Montreal last campaign. Blais doesn't have an easy path to a spot on Ottawa's Opening Night roster, but at the very least, he will get plenty of consideration during training camp.

Impact Blais now has three goals, 14 shots and 18 PIM across four playoff contests. The winger put up 38 points across 35 regular-season games for Laval in 2025-26. Barring injuries to Montreal's forwards, he's likely to stay in the AHL as long as the Rocket are alive in the postseason.

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.
