Mike Matheson - Remains day-to-day Matheson (upper body) has been ruled out of Thursday's tilt against Chicago, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports.

Impact Matheson also sat out Tuesday's game against Philadelphia. The defenseman has four goals and 12 assists in 32 games this season. He has lost a lot of his fantasy value since Montreal added Noah Dobson via trade in the offseason, as Matheson is averaging only 17 seconds of power-play time this season. He could return as early as Saturday against Pittsburgh.

Jakub Dobes - Between pipes against Chicago Dobes will defend the home crease against the Blackhawks on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Dobes has sat out three of Montreal's last four games, but he'll return to the crease against the Blackhawks, who are scoring 2.82 goals per game this season, which is tied for the eighth-worst mark in the NHL. Over five starts this month, Dobes has gone 3-2-0 with a 2.48 GAA and .904 save percentage.

Alexandre Texier - Scores vs. Philadelphia Texier scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Texier broke the deadlock in the first period for the Canadiens, but Montreal's lead lasted precisely 39 seconds before Carl Grundstrom scored to even things up. Montreal would end up giving up four unanswered goals en route to a loss. As for Texier, this was his third goal of the season, and since the 26-year-old holds a bottom-six role in the lineup, he shouldn't carry a lot of upside going forward.

Jacob Fowler - Gives up three goals Fowler stopped 17 of 20 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Flyers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter in the final stages of the third period.

Impact Fowler made his third start of the campaign, and he posted a save percentage of .850 or lower for a second straight contest. He's now given up eight goals over his last two outings, but his spot on the NHL roster might be short-lived since the Canadiens could have Sam Montembeault back in the near future. The goaltender was loaned to AHL Laval for a conditioning assignment on Tuesday. If everything goes according to plan, he could return Sunday against the Penguins on the second leg of a home-and-home set over the weekend.
