Hidden Game: Canadiens squander third-period lead in OT loss to Utah Utah 3, Montreal 2 (OT). "We're getting closer. It sucks losing."

Arber Xhekaj - Deals helper Xhekaj notched an assist, seven hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.
Impact Xhekaj helped out on an Alex Newhook tally in the third period. This was Xhekaj's second assist in the last four games, accounting for all of his offense this season. The physical defenseman has added 14 shots on net, 23 PIM, 44 hits, 16 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 18 outings. He has limited scoring upside, which in turn puts a cap on his usefulness in fantasy.

Christian Dvorak - Collects helper Tuesday Dvorak produced an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.
Impact Dvorak snapped a four-game slump with the primary helper on Alex Newhook's third-period marker. The 28-year-old Dvorak is holding steady in a middle-six role, playing as a two-way center. He has two goals, six helpers, 25 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 21 appearances. His 2023-24 was interrupted by two long-term injuries, but he posted no fewer than 28 points in the four campaigns before that, and that seems to be a reasonable level of offense for him to aim for this season.

David Savard - Nabs helper in overtime loss Savard provided an assist, two blocked shots and 12 PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.
Impact Savard ended an eight-game point drought when he helped out on Jayden Struble's second-period tally. The 34-year-old Savard also missed one game due to an injury in that span. Offense has never been his priority as a shutdown defender. He's doing fine with five assists, 12 shots on net, 52 blocked shots, 18 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 20 outings this season, playing mainly in a top-four role.

Cole Caufield - Garners assist Tuesday Caufield produced an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.
Impact Caufield set up a Jayden Struble tally in the second period. It's been a little bit of a quiet stretch for Caufield -- he has two goals and four helpers over his last 10 contests, which followed a run of six goals over six games to close out October. The 23-year-old winger is still one of the most dynamic talents in Montreal's lineup, and he ranks second on the team with 17 points (12 goals, five helpers) to go with 50 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 21 appearances this season.

Mike Matheson - Will be on road trip Matheson (lower body) is expected to travel with the Canadiens to Columbus ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jackets, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Matheson was a late scratch Tuesday, but his presence on the upcoming three-game road trip is a sign his injury isn't too significant. The 30-year-old blueliner has 13 points, 29 shots on net and 48 blocked shots over 20 appearances this season. He'll resume a top-four role with power-play time once he returns to the lineup.

Jayden Struble - Scores again Tuesday Struble scored a goal and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.
Impact Struble has scored in back-to-back games. The 23-year-old defenseman hasn't lost his place in the lineup since joining Oct. 19, holding down a limited third-pairing role for much of the last month. He's at five points, 21 shots on net, 29 hits, 16 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 16 appearances. There's a little sandpaper in his game for fantasy managers to take advantage of if he can generate somewhat consistent offense.

Alex Newhook - Finds twine Tuesday Newhook scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.
Impact Newhook put the Canadiens ahead 2-1 early in the third period, but Jack McBain offered a quick response for Utah. The goal was Newhook's first point since his two-goal game versus the Devils on Nov. 7. The 23-year-old forward has seen steady middle-six minutes this season and was on the first line amid a lineup shuffle Tuesday, but it hasn't led to sustained success. He has five goals, no assists, 28 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-10 rating across 21 appearances, so his fantasy value is likely to be limited to deeper formats.

Sam Montembeault - Yields three goals in overtime loss Montembeault stopped 26 of 29 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.
Impact Montembeault put in a fair performance, but Utah's top six took care of business in regulation and Mikhail Sergachev tallied at 4:33 of overtime. The Canadiens have leaned heavily on Montembeault in November, but he's gone 3-5-2 over 10 appearances for the month. Overall, he's at a 6-9-2 record with a 3.06 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 17 appearances (16 starts) this season. His workload is attractive, but fantasy managers will want to have more reliable performers on their roster to stabilize ratios and rack up wins. Cayden Primeau will start in Columbus on Wednesday, so Montembeault's next start is like to be either against the Rangers on Saturday or the Bruins on Sunday, with both of those contests also being on the road.

Patrik Laine - Will travel with team Laine (knee) is set to travel with the Canadiens on their upcoming three-game road trip, which begins Wednesday in Columbus, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.
Impact It's unclear if Laine will be activated for Wednesday's matchup against his old team. The 26-year-old winger looks to be close enough to a return to be unofficially in the day-to-day range after switching from non-contact status to a full participant in Monday's practice. In any case, Laine's return will likely have a ripple effect through Montreal's lineup, as he'll command a top-six role and power-play time once cleared to play.
