Cole Caufield - Back on second line Caufield had five shots on goal and two hits over 18:41 of ice time in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Anaheim.
Impact After a one-game reunion with Nick Suzuki on the first line, Caufield shifted back to the second line with Christian Dvorak and Juraj Slafkovsky against the Ducks. Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis has juggled the lines of late in an attempt to spread out the offense, but the coach also needs to unlock Caufield's scoring touch. The winger's gone six games without a goal and has just one tally over the last 12. He continues to work in a top-six role and get TOI on the first power-play unit, so scoring chances should be there for Caufield, who leads the Canadiens with 73 shots on goal.

He's up to one goal, four helpers, 16 shots on net, 19 hits, 19 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 19 contests while maintaining a steady bottom-six role as he has for much of the last three seasons.

Kaiden Guhle - Finds twine Wednesday Guhle scored a goal on two shots, added five hits and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.
Impact Guhle ended a four-game point drought with his first-period marker. The 21-year-old blueliner has been solid with two goals, five assists, 27 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 23 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 15 outings. With a near-40-point pace and plenty of non-scoring production, he could be a useful depth defenseman in fantasy.
NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Matheson - Buries goal in win Matheson scored a goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.
Impact Matheson put the Canadiens ahead 3-1 with his second-period tally. The 29-year-old blueliner has been solid lately with three goals and five assists over his last seven contests.

For the season, he has five tallies, 12 points, 27 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-5 rating through 19 appearances. He should be a solid contributor as long as he maintains a top-six role.
NOVEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Sam Montembeault - Picks up win in Anaheim Montembeault stopped 30 of 33 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.
Impact Montembeault couldn't solve the Ducks' second line, but he got enough goal support to overcome that struggle. Through five outings in November, Montembault has allowed 13 goals while going 2-2-0. The 27-year-old is at 4-3-1 with a solid 2.81 GAA and a .908 save percentage through nine contests. The Canadiens have a back-to-back versus the Sharks and Kings on Friday and Saturday, respectively, but it's unclear if Montembeault will draw a start in either of those games or if Jake Allen and Cayden Primeau might split them.
