Montreal Canadiens News & Notes

Today, the Canadiens announced that forward Emil Heineman will miss 4-6 weeks after being hit by a car while in Salt Lake City. Recently, Montreal has been on an impressive run to get themselves back into competitive reach of the Wild Card race and Atlantic Division standings.

While Montreal will still likely sell off a couple of roster pieces, seeing them add a long-term addition to their core wouldn’t be surprising.

Utah Hockey Club News & Notes

In their first season as an organization, Utah has taken steps to show that they aren’t your parents, Arizona Coyotes. Unfortunately for Utah, the additions and spending haven’t resulted in standings results. While they come into the NHL Trade Deadline as sellers, could they try to package picks and players for long-term solutions, or will they spend big in free agency?

Players To Watch

Montreal Canadiens

Cole Caufield is leading the Canadiens in goals (23) and has six goals in his last 10 games. Caufield’s scoring streak has helped keep the Habs in their winning ways.

Utah Hockey Club

Mikhail Sergachev is an astounding -12 in the last 10 games; uncharacteristic. With the injuries on the back end, Sergachev will take a higher time on ice and have a higher impact on every game. If he can balance out his play, that will benefit the team immensely.

Injury Report:

Montreal Canadiens

LW Emil Heineman – Out 3-4 Weeks
D David Reinbacher – Out 5-6 Months
