| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | David Desharnais  ActiveThe Canadiens have shuffled their lines during Saturday morning's practice. David Desharnais was back at center between Brendan Gallaghaer and Alex Galchenyuk, who as back at left wing. Tomas Plekanec centered a line featuring Max Pacioretty and Dale Weise, while Lars Eller skated between Jiri Sekac and Christian Thomas. The fourth unit was comprised of Michael Bournival, Manny Maholtra and Brandon Prust. If this is the way Habs' coach Michel Therrien deploys his troops against the Islanders, it is a boost for Desharnais and Weise. Jan 17 |
| 2 | Tomas Plekanec ActiveTomas Plekanec powered the Canadiens to a 6-4 win over the Islanders with four points Saturday night. The 32-year-old scored twice and assisted two times. He has 13 goals and 32 points this season, one in which he’s reverted back to being an asset offensively in fantasy leagues. Plekanec is a solid depth forward now, but don’t expect him to carry you like he did tonight. Other goal scorers included: David Desharnais (goal, assist), Dale Weise, Alex Galchenyuk and P.K. Subban. Andrei Markov had three assists. Jan 17 |
| 3 | Lars Eller ActiveCanadiens center Lars Eller scored a goal and was a game-high plus-3 in his team's 3-1 triumph Monday night over the Hurricanes in Carolina. Eller's goal was his eighth of the season. It was the second of two for Montreal in the second period. The first one was an unassisted marker scored by Sekic, his seventh of the season. Max Pacioretty closed out the Montreal scoring with his 14th of the season, an empty netter at 19:37 of the third. Montreal has won four in a row against Carolina and is 7-0-2 in its past nine games against the struggling Hurricanes. The Canadiens (23-11-2) are 2-0-0 on a five-game road trip that continues against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday. Dec 29 |
| 4 | Manny Malhotra ActiveManny Malhotra and Mike Weaver will sit out Saturday's tilt against the Penguins. While Weaver hasn't played since Dec. 6th, Malhotra is being sat for the third time in five games after playing the first 36 games. If you need a faceoff specialist, you may be interested to know that Malhotra has won 388 of 627 draws, that's a .619 winning percentage. Jan 10 |
| LW | 1 | Max Pacioretty ActiveMax Pacioretty registered two assists in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Islanders. Pacioretty picked up both his assists in the second period. The Habs' winger scored assists on goals from Dale Weise and Tomas Plekanec. Pacioretty and Plekanec have been put on the same line recently, and they've had some nice chemistry together. The 26-year-old has 21 goals and 38 points in 44 games this season. Pacioretty is one of the top snipers in the NHL. Jan 18 |
| 2 | Alex Galchenyuk ActiveAlex Galchenyuk scored his 13th goal of the campaign in Montreal's 3-2 win over the Stars Tuesday night. It may have taken a couple of seasons, but Galchenyuk is finally breaking out this year and seems to be tapping into the massive potential he possesses. Brendan Gallagher and Alexei Emelin also scored for the Habs in victory. Jan 28 |
| 3 | Jiri Sekac ActiveJiri Sekac has been selected as Tanner Pearson's replacement among the All-Star roster rookies. Pearson can't participate because he's dealing with a fractured left fibula. Sekac has seven goals and 15 points in 34 contests in 2014-15. Jan 13 |
| 4 | Michael Bournival ActiveForward Michael Bournival scored two goals as the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Devils 4-2 in New Jersey Friday night. They were Bournival's first two goals of the season. He's been used sparingly this season. Montreal also got goals Friday from Max Pacioretty on a power play and Tomas Plekanec into an empty net. P.K. Subban had three assists and now has 18 on the season. Jan 2 |
| RW | 1 | Brendan Gallagher ActiveBrendan Gallagher was the only goal scorer for the Canadiens in their 2-1 shootout victory over Florida Tuesday night. Gallagher's 11th of the campaign broke a scoreless tie in the second period and nearly lasted as the game-winner. Lars Eller and Nathan Beaulieu picked up helpers on the marker. Dec 30 |
| 2 | P. A. Parenteau  SidelinedP. A. Parenteau (concussion) won't be back in the lineup on Tuesday. He is still sidelined with his second concussion this month, so he could be out for a while. Jan 27 |
| 3 | Brandon Prust ActiveBrandon Prust played in his 400th game on Friday. Prust isn't a sniper or a point producer by any means, but he is one of the tougher players in the league. Listed at 6'0 and 194 lbs, Prust never shies away from fighting heavyweight tough guys. The 30-year-old has one goal, eight points and 64 penalty minutes in 31 games this season. Dec 14 |
| 4 | Dale Weise ActiveDale Weise skated on the top line with Max Pacioretty and Tomas Plekanec during Saturday's 6-4 win against the Islanders. He scored his sixth goal of the year just 10 seconds into the second period. Weise has been shuffled between lines in 2014-15, so he probably won't remain on the top unit for very long. He is having a career year offensively with 16 points in 41 games. "I have so much more confidence," Weise said. "I feel like a different player this year. I felt like a different player when I got here last year." Jan 19 |
| 5 | Christian Thomas ActiveThe Montreal Canadiens have recalled Christian Thomas from the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL. The Habs sent Thomas down after their last game before the break, and now that the break is about to end, they will need his services again. The 22-year-old has no points in three games for Montreal this season. Jan 25 |
| D | 1 | P.K. Subban ActiveP.K. Subban scored a power-play goal in overtime to lift the Canadiens to a 2-1 win over Nashville Tuesday night. The game-winner was the 11th goal of the campaign for the offensive-minded blueliner and his third tally in four games. Subban also recorded an assist on Alex Galchenyuk's third period marker to give him 31 points in 45 games. Jan 20 |
| 2 | Andrei Markov ActiveAndrei Markov picked up three assists in Montreal's 6-4 win over the Islanders on Saturday. Markov now has five assists in his last three contests. The 36-year-old is getting up there in age, but he has been a rock on defense for Montreal. Markov has five goals and 25 points in 44 games this season. Some would argue that he's been the Habs' best defenseman, ahead of PK Subban, this year. Jan 18 |
| 3 | Sergei Gonchar ActiveSergei Gonchar is eager to help out new defense partner Nathan Beaulieu. "I don't know if big brother is the right word, but he's my teammate and I'll try to help him," said Gonchar. "I have more experience than him and I'll try to share it with him." He has recorded one goal and four assists in 19 contests since being acquired by Montreal from Dallas. Dec 29 |
| 4 | Alexei Emelin ActiveAlexei Emelin might be a healthy scratch Wednesday against Columbus. He skated as the seventh defenseman during Tuesday's practice. Mike Weaver took his spot and was paired with Tom Gilbert. Jan 14 |
| 5 | Tom Gilbert ActiveTom Gilbert will play Tuesday versus Nashville. He was a healthy scratch on Saturday, but this time Mike Weaver will be in the press box. Gilbert has seven points in 41 games with the Canadiens this campaign. Jan 20 |
| 6 | Mike Weaver ActiveMike Weaver will return to Montreal's rearguard on Saturday night against the New York Islanders. Weaver hasn't played since Dec. 6th, a span of 14 games, due to a concussion. But now he's back and on the third defensive unit with Alexei Emelin. He may not be a scoring threat, but in 26 games Weaver did rack up 29 hits and 52 blocks. Jan 17 |
| 7 | Nathan Beaulieu ActiveNathan Beaulieu will pair with Tom Gilbert on Montreal's third pair on Tuesday night against Vancouver. Said Coach Therrian of the young defender, "We hope he will play well, that he'll be responsible, as much with the puck as without the puck." Here it is young man, your golden opportunity. Dec 9 |
| G | 1 | Carey Price ActiveCarey Price was rock solid on Tuesday night as he blocked 40 of 42 shots in a 3-2 defeat of the Stars. The Canadiens All-Star representative was a step ahead of the Dallas shooters all night long and was the main reason his team didn't get beaten. The fantasy stud owns a record of 25-10-2 for the year to go along with a 2.15 GAA and a .929 save percentage. Jan 28 |
| 2 | Dustin Tokarski ActiveDustin Tokarski made 27 saves in the Canadiens’ 6-4 win over the Islanders on Saturday night. Luckily for him, Jaroslav Halak was considerably worse. Tokarski was making second straight start (and second since Dec. 30) and could be in line for another start or two with Carey Price dealing with an upper-body injury. Tokarski has a 2.50 goals-against average and .917 save percentage. Jan 17 |
