The Flyers held their morning practice in Montreal prior to facing the Canadiens tonight, and by the looks of it, they could be scrambling a few lines, including one that might make a few people happy. Here’s what they were rolling with at the skate:

The NHL's trade market is as hot as ever, and it sounds like there could be some more moves coming before the holiday roster freeze. Two teams that could be doing business together in the next week, the Montreal Canadiens and Anaheim Ducks. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Ducks center Ryan Strome is a prime trade candidate. Strome has battled his way back from injury this season and is struggling. Through 14 games, Strome has scored just once, and added four assists, for five point...
After a two-game stretch where the Montreal Canadiens went 1-0-1 with rookie goaltender Jacob Fowler between the pipes, they went back to one of their regulars on Sunday night. Taking on Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers at home, Jakub Dobeš got his first start since being pulled during their blowout loss to Tampa Bay last Tuesday. The hope was that perhaps a bit of time off would give him a chance to reset and find his form from earlier in the season.
He did precisely that, looking ...
After an impressive 6-3 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs in Tristan Jarry’s debut on Saturday, the Edmonton Oilers put forward a listless effort on Sunday, losing 4-1 to the Montréal Canadiens. Nobody said it was easy to come out of a back-to-back on the road with four points, but this weekend perfectly summarizes what…
The Habs went 2-1-1 during the second week of December, and sit third in the Atlantic Division with a record of 17-11-4.
It started with another full-on embarrassment at home, a 6-1 beatdown courtesy of the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. The Habs then took to the road, with Jacob Fowler getting his first NHL regular-season start against the Pittsburgh Penguins after the Habs hit the organizational panic button – calling up Fowler, Adam Engström and Owen Beck.
All three played in the...

The Edmonton Oilers’ search for a three-game win streak continues. On Sunday evening, the Oilers played their second of five games on the road, falling 4-1 to the Montréal Canadiens to move their record to 15-12-6. Let’s take a look at what went on in this game. After a scoreless first period, the Canadiens opened…

Jakub Dobeš gets the start after a couple of games for Jacob Fowler.
It’s a rough start for referee Furman South as Mattias Ekholm fires a clearing attempt off the back of his knee. We have to hope he remembers which team did that to him.
Josh Anderson goes in on a partial breakaway, but his backhand move doesn’t fool Calvin Pickard.

It turns out the Montreal Canadiens can’t just abandon their defensive duties with Jacob Fowler in the net and let the rookie save them. They did well in Pittsburgh to limit the shots he faced to start his NHL career, but the New York Rangers were able to test him from close r...
After a chaotic, penalty-filled, and wildly entertaining 6-5 win back on October 23rd, the Edmonton Oilers get another crack at the Montreal Canadiens, this time with a little more confidence and a lot less panic in the air. That first meeting had everything: Blown leads, three-goal swings in a matter of minutes, angry Montreal fans,…

The Edmonton Oilers have had one glaring weakness for several seasons, and that is goaltending. The team has made back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals despite the issues in net, ranking 11th of the 16 teams in the 2025 post-season with an overall save percentage of .871. The assumption ...
Ouch. The Montreal Canadiens looked like they were taking the dog for a walk early on against the New York Rangers. Ahead 3-0 and cruising…and then bad stuff happened. Before you knew, the Rangers were only down one at the intermission. The Habs restored the lead to 4-2 but then gagged that away, as well,…

The Montreal Canadiens have a real problem in net, and while the poor center depth is also something that has to be addressed, the goalie situation can cause losses, and has. Pierre LeBrun said, "The Canadiens may have to trade for a goalie before March 6th, but for now would rather hope that Montembeault finds his game and Fowler gives them a little boost." Jacob Fowler, who just turned 21 years old, was recently called up and has played in the Canadiens' last two games since the promotion. H...
The Montreal Canadiens desperately need a second line center if they are going to have a chance to compete for the Stanley Cup, which is the goal of a team that finally got back into the playoffs last season and made upgrades in the offseason. Doing that will likely take something off the roster. Frank Seravalli said, "Long-term plan is going to be a bit harder to sort out. That is certainly a topic of concern...for the Habs' front office, and potentially might involve trading from a position ...
First period
Cole Caufield cheats a bit speeding out into the neutral zone as the puck stays in the Canadiens’ end, and that opens up some space for J.T. Miller to get the puck to Braden Schneider to walk in and shoot, but Jacob Fowler makes the save.
The second line comes out, and pass from Ivan Demidov to Oliver Kapanen in the slot just fails to connect.
The top line has now spent both of its shifts in the defensive zone. They have had several games with that not happening t...

As is always the case when a team comes to Toronto, there were storylines to follow before the puck was even dropped. Sam Dickinson, who grew up a Montreal Canadiens fan in Toronto, had approximately half the population of the city in attendance.
