Kaiden Guhle - Set to return Friday Guhle (quadriceps) is expected to be in the lineup Friday versus the Hurricanes, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Guhle will draw into the lineup as the Canadiens dress seven defensemen, offering a little insurance if he's not quite up to 100 percent yet. The 23-year-old will bolster the Canadiens' blue line as they look to find some leverage in the playoff race. Joshua Roy is set to come out of the lineup to make way for Guhle.

David Savard - Generates helper Thursday Savard notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Savard has three helpers over his last six contests. The 34-year-old defenseman is averaging just 15:37 of ice time over 12 games in March compared to 17:22 of ice time for the whole season. His role could shrink further when Kaiden Guhle (quadriceps) is able to return. Savard is at 15 points, 44 shots on net, 164 blocked shots, 53 hits and a minus-9 rating through 65 appearances this season.

Alex Newhook - Deposits goal in loss Newhook scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Newhook has three goals and an assist over 12 outings in March. It's not much, but it continues the modest and steady pace he started in February. Overall, the 24-year-old center has 14 goals, 24 points, 103 shots on net, 75 hits and a minus-19 rating through 71 appearances. This is still likely to be his worst full NHL campaign, but it's yet to cost him a spot on the Canadiens' second line.

Christian Dvorak - Nets goal in Thursday's loss Dvorak scored a goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Dvorak has found his scoring touch lately with four goals and three assists over his last six games. The 29-year-old is still playing in a third-line role, so it remains to be seen if these gains will stick. He's up to 10 goals, 27 points, 98 shots on net, 38 hits, 63 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 71 appearances, giving him an outside chance of getting to the 30-point mark for the first time since 2021-22.

Patrik Laine - Tickles twine in loss Laine scored a goal on five shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Flyers.

Impact This was Laine's first even-strength goal since Feb. 25 versus the Hurricanes. The 26-year-old has been superb at finding the net this season, racking up 18 goals on 98 shots, good for an 18.4 shooting percentage. He's added 13 assists, 26 blocked shots, 22 hits and a minus-12 rating through 41 appearances. He's scored 14 of his 18 goals on the power play.

Cole Caufield - Puts away goal Thursday Caufield scored a goal in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Caufield ended a four-game goal drought with his third-period tally. The 24-year-old winger has had the occasional dry spell this season but has mostly been consistent in a top-six role. He's up to 34 goals, 63 points, 211 shots on net, 58 hits and a plus-6 rating through 71 appearances. He needs three more points to set a career high.

Impact Montembeault was pulled in his last start after allowing five goals on 32 shots in a 6-1 loss to the Blues on Tuesday. Montembeault is 25-22-6 with four shutouts, a 2.93 GAA and an .898 save percentage across 53 outings in 2024-25. The Hurricanes are generating 3.21 goals per game this season, ninth in the NHL.

Lane Hutson - Joins exclusive club Thursday Hutson collected two assists in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Flyers.

Impact With his helper on an Alex Newhook tally in the first period, Hutson became the fifth blueliner in NHL history to record 50 assists in his rookie campaign, joining a list that includes Hall of Famers Chris Chelios and Larry Murphy -- with Murphy's 60 being the all-time record. Hutson isn't showing any signs of slowing down, and over 12 games in March he's produced a goal and 12 points. The 21-year-old has 56 points (five goals, 51 assists) in 71 appearances, and he still has a chance of matching or topping Chelios' 64 points from 1984-85 -- Montreal's franchise mark for points by a rookie defenseman.

Jakub Dobes - Falls to Philly Dobes turned aside 24 shots in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Flyers.

Impact Philly came out of the gates hot under interim head coach Brad Shaw, scoring three goals on 11 shots in the first period, and Dobes has basically no chance on any of those tallies. The 23-year-old rookie netminder hasn't won a game since March 1, going 0-2-1 over his last four outings with a 4.24 GAA and .862 save percentage.
