The pending unrestricted free agent has been linked to a number of different teams in trade rumors, including the Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins, NY Islanders, Ottawa Senators, Montreal Canadiens and others. But we now have a new contending team linked to the gritty, physical power forward, a team that has not previously been discussed as having him on the radar. According to veteran NHL analyst Jesse Granger in Th...

The Nashville Predators are going to be entering sell mode, where the Montreal Canadiens will be buying all day long, and these two teams have been linked to a trade by one of the biggest hockey insiders in the game. The Athletic's Chris Johnston sees the Canadiens as a perfect landing spot for Predators' veteran forward Jonathan Marchessault. The 34-year-old winger has three seasons left on his contract at $5.5 million AAV, and owns a full no-movement clause. This is a move that would c...

The Los Angeles Kings have been kicked out of the top-3 in their division and recently traded Phillip Danault after things went south quickly. Danault has completely lost his scoring touch and has just five assists in 31 games this season (30 with LA). The second/third line two-way center at least still has his defensive game, and that's why the Montreal Canadiens traded for him, but he wasn't adding to the offense that the Kings needed, in LA. The team reportedly turned down offers to get a p...

With injuries, illnesses, and a general need for some time off, the Montreal Canadiens lined up against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday for their final game before the holiday. Overcoming a rough first period, they were the better team in the second and third, taking advantage of some power plays to earn a convincing 6-2 win before their time off.
Contributions came from just about everywhere in the lineup, as it was a team effort that saw them take over the game after the first.

The game begins with Josh Anderson and Tanner Jeannot squaring up at centre ice. We have our tone for this game. Precisely the one the Bruins wanted.
Phillip Danault continues the shift with Brendan Gallagher in Anderson’s place and they help draw a holding call when Alexandre Texier is grabbed behind the net.
Lane Hutson attempts a pass across the top of the zone, and it leads to a two-on-one from the two Bruins forwards you don’t want to allow one to. Jacob Fowl...

The Los Angeles Kings were hoping to make a real 'hockey trade' for disgruntled veteran center Phillip Danault. They wanted, preferably, another center back in the deal. In the end, they sent Danault to the Montreal Canadiens for a second-round draft pick. But there was an offer on the table from another team of an established young center who's been a viable secondary scorer on multiple occasions. The Kings turned it down. David Pagnotta explained on Daily Faceoff's DFO Rund...

Many around the hockey world were stunned that the Los Angeles Kings would trade the veteran center Phillip Danault for a draft pick, without getting a roster player back in return. Especially considering centers are at a premium on the trade market these days. So why did the Kings rush into such a deal? According to insider Elliotte Friedman , the situation had become so untenable, something had to be done ASAP, and the Montreal Canadiens likely knew they had the Kings over a barrel. It...

The Pittsburgh Penguins snapped a couple of losing streaks on Sunday night with their 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens. The most important streak it snapped is the eight-game losing streak they were on. Arguably the more satisfying streak that it snapped was their nine-game shootout losing streak that went all the way back to […]

Watching the Montreal Canadiens this season has so far has been fun, frustrating, and at times infuriating. The most consistent source of frustration has probably been the goaltending the team has received this season, but close behind that has been officiating.
That’s not new, nor is it unique for sports fans, though I do think the NHL’s officiating is significantly worse than most other sports. Talk to any fanbase in the NHL for long enough, and they’ll probably tell you the refs are ou...

After Alexandre Texier opened the scoring just a minute into the game, the Habs went on to allow four straight and lose 4-1, with Jacob Fowler ending up placing the dagger himself after a turnover behind the net.
