JUNE 27, 2023 • MONTREALGAZETTE.COM

Acquired by Montreal Montreal acquired Newhook from Colorado on Tuesday in exchange for two draft picks and defenseman Gianni Fairbrother.

Impact Newhook, who is pending restricted free agent, recorded 14 goals and 30 points in 82 games with the Avalanche last season. He will probably occupy a bottom-six forward spot with the Canadiens in 2023-24.

What could Alex Newhook's next contract look like? Examining contract comparables To get a sense of what Newhook's contract could look like, let’s look at potential comparables.

MAY 24, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Draws assist Saturday Newhook notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Kraken in Game 3.

Impact Newhook saw just 6:39 of ice time Saturday, though absences for Darren Helm (undisclosed) and Valeri Nichushkin (personal) could keep the young center in the lineup. The helper was Newhook's first point in three contests against the Kraken in the first round. With a limited role on the fourth line, the 22-year-old is unlikely to be very intriguing for fantasy managers.

Malgin helps Avalanche keep rolling in 4-3 win over Kings

Denis Malgin scored twice and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 on Saturday night for their fourth straight victory

APRIL 9, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Lights lamp Saturday Newhook scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kings.

Impact Newhook has a goal and an assist over his last two games, which follows his recent 12-game slump. The 22-year-old is up to a career-high 14 tallies with 15 assists, 112 shots on net, 59 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 78 appearances. While he's on the fourth line at even strength, his role on the second power-play unit still provides the forward a chance to generate offense.

Chips in with helper Newhook notched an assist in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Newhook has played on the fourth line recently with Darren Helm (lower body) out. The helper snapped Newhook's 12-game point drought, during which he went minus-8 with 16 shots on net. The 22-year-old forward may have to settle for a bottom-six role if he can't find more consistency on offense entering the postseason. He's at 28 points, 111 shots on net, 58 hits and a minus-1 rating through 77 appearances.

Moves to second line Newhook had two shots, one hit and one blocked shot over 16:39 of ice time in Monday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

Impact Newhook, who has moved around the bottom-three lines all season, has returned to the second line the last four games. Prior to rejoining the second unit, he spent time on the fourth line, which included a season-low 5:41 TOI in win over Ottawa. The second-year forward is averaging 16:03 TOI per game since being promoted, but Newhook remains in a scoring slump with zero points in the last nine contests.

MARCH 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

TOI drying up Newhook had two penalty minutes over 5:41 of ice time in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Senators.

Impact Newhook was in the box for interference when Ottawa scored its first goal then made a poor read that led to the Sens' second goal, which may explain the season-low TOI. The second-year forward's ice time has diminished of late. Newhook's now skating on the fourth line, which collectively played just two shifts in the third period, and been given less than 10 minutes in three of the last four games.

MARCH 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Faceoff win leads to assist Newhook had an assist and one shot on goal over 9:34 of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Coyotes.

Impact Newhook won just two of eight faceoffs, but his defensive-zone win early in the first period led to Denis Malgin's score. The 22-year-old center was originally thought to be a replacement on the second line for the departed Nazem Kadri, but things haven't worked out that way. Newhook's spent a good portion of the season in a bottom-six role and currently centers the fourth line. He has a goal and six assists over his last nine games.

MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bottom six Newhook had one shot on goal, one hit and one blocked shot over a season-low 8:32 of ice time in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Seattle.

Impact Newhook had five points over the previous five games leading into Sunday's affair, but head coach Jared Bednar stuck him on the fourth line after the second-year forward filled a top-six role Saturday. He played just five shifts over the final two periods. There did not appear to be an injury involved in the low ice time, but it could be as simple as Newhook running afoul of the coach, something that's happened before this season.

MARCH 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains in top six Newhook had two assists, one on the power play, and two shots on goal over 12:26 of ice time in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Stars.

Impact Newhook, who has five points in the last five games, remained in a top-six role, helping to fill a void created by Valeri Nichushkin's absence due to illness. He patiently circled the net and assisted on Samuel Girard's first-period goal then was primary on Evan Rodrigues' power-play strike in the third. It's unclear if Nichushkin will be available for Sunday's contest against the Kraken, but the suddenly hot Newhook should remain in a top-six role whether Big Val plays or not.

MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to second line Newhook had an assist, one shot on goal, one hit and one blocked shot over 13:28 of ice time in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to New Jersey.

Impact Newhook has points in three of the last four contests following a seven-game pointless streak. He moved to the wing on the second line Wednesday with the newly acquired Lars Eller jumping in as the third-line center, Newhook's previous role. Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar told Evan Rawal of Colorado Hockey Now that's he's been pleased with Newhook's game recently and wanted to elevate him. In theory, the 22-year-old forward could see an increase in scoring while skating with J.T. Compher and Mikko Rantanen on the second line. However, Newhook has been inconsistent with 23 points over 59 games this campaign.

Hands out helper Newhook produced an assist in Friday's 5-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Newhook ended his seven-game point drought when he helped out on Bowen Byram's first-period marker. The Avalanche's offense has relied on the top six lately, while Newhook hasn't done much in a third-line role. He's up to 21 points, 83 shots on net, 48 hits and a plus-1 rating through 56 contests overall.
