JOEL EDMUNDSON NEWS

Picks up helper Edmundson recorded an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact The helper was Edmundson's first point in three games since he returned from an upper-body injury. It snapped a nine-game drought that predated the injury. The 29-year-old defenseman is unlikely to become a juggernaut on offense -- he's at seven points with 54 shots on net, 114 blocked shots, 71 hits, 41 PIM and a minus-22 rating through 42 contests overall in a top-four role.

Joel Edmundson doesn't want to leave Montreal, but his return to play makes that possible Edmundson is as much of a risk for the Canadiens as he is for a team that trades for him, but there's a reason why he always draws interest.

Joel Edmundson ne veut pas quitter Montréal, mais son retour au jeu rend cela plus possible Edmundson est un risque autant pour le CH que les clubs qui l'ont ciblé, mais il y a une raison pour laquelle l'intérêt envers lui subsiste.

Ready to rock Edmundson (upper body) is set to return to the lineup Thursday versus the Kings, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Edmundson should resume a defensive role in the Canadiens' top four after missing 11 games with the injury. It was unclear during warmups who would exit the lineup to facilitate Edmundson's return.

Unavailable against Sharks Edmundson (upper body) will not be in action versus San Jose on Tuesday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Edmundson will be shelved for his 11th straight contest due to his lingering upper-body issue but appears to be trending in the right direction. Considering the blueliner is goalless in 28 consecutive games and managed just four assists over that stretch, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting much out of Edmundson in terms of offensive production.

Will travel on road trip Edmundson (upper body) is expected to travel with the Canadiens and practice Monday ahead of the start of their four-game road trip.

Impact Edmundson has been out for 10 games already, but it appears his return may be close. The Canadiens' road trip begins Tuesday in San Jose, though it's unclear if he'll be ready to go at that point. Corey Schueneman would likely come out of the lineup once Edmundson returns.

Status unchanged Edmundson (upper body) is still considered day-to-day despite having missed the last seven games, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.

Impact At this point, Edmundson should probably be considered out indefinitely considering he has yet to rejoin practice and isn't skating with any consistency. Prior to getting hurt, the blueliner was goalless in 28 straight games in which he recorded just four assists. As such, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting much in the way of offensive upside even once healthy.
