Red Wings head to the Canadiens in Atlantic Division play
The Detroit Red Wings face the Montreal Canadiens in a matchup within the Atlantic Division Saturday7 HOURS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Joel Armia - Contributes helper Armia notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Impact Armia has three goals and an assist over his last seven outings. The helper was his first since Nov. 27, but he's emerged as a key depth scorer for the Canadiens while often filling a fourth-line role. For the season, Armia has 14 points, 43 shots on net, 44 hits and a minus-5 rating through 32 appearances, putting him on pace for his most productive campaign in five years.

Mike Matheson - Supplies assist Friday Matheson managed an assist and went minus-2 in Friday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Impact Matheson helped out on Emil Heineman's opening goal in the first period. This was Matheson's second assist over the last three games, but he's been limited to just three helpers through nine outings in December. The 30-year-old defenseman has 17 points, 66 blocked shots, 56 shots on net, 29 PIM and a minus-12 rating through 30 contests this season. His defensive numbers will struggles since he plays big minutes on a team that often is outmatched, but Matheson adds enough offense to be a factor in fantasy anyway.

Lane Hutson - Provides power-play assist Hutson notched a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Friday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Impact Hutson continued a strong run of offense -- he's gotten on the scoresheet in 10 of the last 11 games, racking up a goal and 11 assists in that span. He set up Patrik Laine for the game-winning goal in Friday's contests. Hutson is up to 23 points (10 on the power play), 36 shots on net, 43 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-16 rating through 32 appearances. There's still work for him to do defensively, but he's already got plenty of offense, so fantasy managers who can weather his poor plus-minus rating shouldn't hesitate to have him active.

Cole Caufield - Draws power-play assist Caufield logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Impact Caufield's numbers are evening out a bit -- after being almost nothing but goals early on, he's now racked up five helpers over the last five games without scoring in that span. His latest assist was on a Patrik Laine tally in the third period Friday. Caufield has been excellent overall with 17 goals, 13 assists, 87 shots on net, 28 hits and a minus-4 rating through 32 appearances, and 10 of his 30 points have come on the power play. He should have no trouble staying in a top-line role.

Arber Xhekaj - Pots goal Friday Xhekaj scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Impact Xhekaj ended a five-game point drought with his game-tying goal in the third period, which was his first tally of the season. The 23-year-old defenseman didn't do much on offense early on -- all five of his points have come over the last 15 games. He's added 33 shots on net, 43 PIM, 31 blocked shots, 76 hits and a minus-5 rating through 29 outings overall. Xhekaj looks set to continue playing a physical role in the Canadiens' bottom four, though he may have to compete with Jayden Struble for the last spot in the lineup since Alexandre Carrier was brought in a swap that sent frequent scratch Justin Barron to Nashville.

Patrik Laine - Nets game-winner on power play Laine scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Friday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Impact Laine has scored all seven of his goals this season on the power play. His tally Friday was clutch, giving the Canadiens the lead for good at 12:02 of the third period. Laine is at eight points, 27 shots on net, six hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over eight appearances. A little more even-strength production would help from a sustainability standpoint, but fantasy managers who waited for Laine to recover from a knee injury have been reaping the rewards early and often since his return.

Emil Heineman - One of each in win Heineman scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Impact Heineman has four points over his last four games. He scored the opening goal at 7:09 of the first period, his first tally since Dec. 1. The 23-year-old has seven goals, 12 points, 33 shots on net, 72 hits and a minus-3 rating over 31 contests. Heineman's recent success may make him of interest to fantasy managers in deep formats, but he doesn't have enough of a track record or a large enough role for widespread appeal.
12 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Jake Evans - Pair of points in win Evans scored a shorthanded goal on two shots, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-3 in Friday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Impact Evans was involved in both of the Canadiens' goals in the first period. He's collected a career-high three shorthanded points already this season as he continues to show his value as a penalty killer and defensive forward. The 28-year-old has two goals and five helpers over nine outings in December, giving him a total of six goals, 18 points, 26 shots on net, 45 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 32 appearances this season.
12 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Sam Montembeault - Yields three goals in win Montembeault allowed three goals on 28 shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.
Impact Montembeault picked up his second win in a row and his fifth victory in his last eight games. He's had ups and downs in that span, but he's generally been good at keeping the Canadiens competitive this season. Montembeault improved to 11-13-2 with a 2.93 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 26 appearances. Cayden Primeau is likely to get a start at home in Saturday's rematch with the Red Wings.
