Newhook recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Friday's 6-3 win over the Capitals in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook didn't have a point in the first two games of the series, but the playmaker contributed directly to two of the team's six goals in Friday's blowout win. He only recorded 26 points in the regular season, tallying 15 goals and 11 assists across 82 contests. While he posted a solid stat line in Game 3, he shouldn't operate as one of the Canadiens' go-to offensive weapons throughout the series.

Newhook scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook ended a nine-game goal drought, a span in which he was limited to one assist, with his goal at 6:00 of the first period. The 24-year-old center is up to 15 goals, matching his career high from last season. He's added just 11 assists, 116 shots on net, 86 hits and a minus-21 rating over 81 appearances. With just one regular-season game left, Newhook is a virtual guarantee to miss the 30-point mark for the first time since he became a full-time NHL player.

Newhook notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook ended a five-game slump with the helper. The 24-year-old has five points over 18 contests since the start of March -- that production doesn't really line up with his second-line role. Newhook is up to 25 points, 112 shots on net, 83 hits and a minus-20 rating over 77 appearances this season. Without more consistency on offense, his fantasy value is limited to deep formats.

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

Newhook managed an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook snapped a three-game dry spell with the helper. He has three goals and two assists over his last 12 contests while continuing to fill a second-line role at even strength as well as a spot on the second power-play unit. Newhook is up to 23 points, 98 shots on net, 75 hits and a minus-17 rating through 69 appearances.

Newhook scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook snapped a four-game point drought with the tally. The 24-year-old center continues to see second-line action, though his offense has been inconsistent. Prior to his most recent dry spell, he had a run of eight points over nine outings for one of his best stretches of 2024-25. He's at 13 goals, 22 points, 91 shots on net, 73 hits and a minus-16 rating through 65 appearances. Newhook is very much at risk of missing the 30-point mark for the first time in a full NHL campaign.

Newhook scored the game-winning goal, took two shots on net and provided two hits in Saturday's 4-2 win against Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook capped off a wild five-goal second period and his tally stood as the game-winning goal for Montreal. The 24-year-old center is up to 12 goals, 21 points and 81 shots on target in 60 games played this season. After a sluggish start to the season, Newhook has eight points in his last nine games. He plays a key role on Montreal's second line and No. 2 power-play unit. With Montreal amid the Eastern Conference Wild Card race, Newhook has the opportunity to be a solid streaming option in fantasy if he can maintain his recent quality of play.

Newhook scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The Canadiens never led until Cole Caufield's overtime winner, which was made possible by Newhook's equalizer early in the third period. February was a good month for Newhook, who put up two goals and five assists over eight contests for his most productive month of the campaign so far. He's now at 11 goals, 20 points, 79 shots on net, 63 hits and a minus-14 rating over 59 appearances. It's well behind his level from 2023-24, when he had a career-best 34 points in just 55 games.

Newhook provided a power-play assist in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook has heated up to begin February, earning a goal and four assists, including three power-play helpers, over his last five games. The forward had just four points in January and has struggled to consistently produce offense throughout the campaign. He's now at 18 points (four on the power play), 74 shots on net, 60 hits and a minus-15 rating through 56 appearances in a second-line role.

Newhook managed an assist in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook has four points over three outings in February, matching his production from all of January. The 24-year-old has found some success on a new-look second line featuring Kirby Dach and Josh Anderson. Newhook is at 17 points, 73 shots on net, 59 hits and a minus-13 rating through 54 appearances. He'll need to show success on offense over a longer span to generate fantasy interest.
