Newhook (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook underwent surgery to repair a fractured ankle Friday that carries a return timetable of approximately four months, so his move to injured reserve isn't surprising. Prior to sustaining his injury, he had recorded six goals, six assists, 26 hits, eight PIM and five blocked shots while averaging 14:38 of ice time over 17 appearances.

Newhook had surgery to repair a fractured ankle Friday and will be sidelined for four months.

EDGE Analysis

Based on his timeline, Newhook figures to be out of action until at least mid-March. It's a huge blow for the 24-year-old center, who was putting together a solid season with 12 points in 17 games -- numbers that could have seen him top the 40-point threshold for the first time in his NHL career. Fantasy managers can likely expect Newhook to be placed on injured reserve in the coming days.

Newhook sustained a lower-body injury and won't return to Thursday's game versus the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

The Canadiens didn't provide any additional details, but Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports Newhook's right leg bent awkwardly on the play that led to his exit from the game. Given the nature of the injury, this may be a case of how long he's out rather than hoping he's just day-to-day. He'll be evaluated further ahead of Saturday's game versus the Bruins.

Newhook scored a goal and delivered an assist in Saturday's 6-2 win over Utah. He also tallied two PIM, five shots on goal, two hits and a plus-3 rating.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook gave the Canadiens a 3-2 lead with a snap shot at the 13:13 mark of the second period, and he'd later assist Nick Suzuki to give Montreal a 5-2 edge in the final frame. Newhook continues to produce at a steady rate for Montreal and has cracked the scoresheet in seven of the team's last nine games, tallying 10 points (five goals, five assists), 16 shots, 17 hits, four blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over that stretch.

Newhook scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook found the twine for the third time over his last four games, with four tallies over that stretch, but this goal Saturday was perhaps his most important of the season since it gave Montreal the victory after regulation. Newhook has five goals and nine total points across 12 games this season. There might be some regression in his scoring numbers in the coming weeks, though, as he's currently sporting an unsustainable 33.3 percent shooting percentage. In contrast, he's never reached the 20 percent mark in that regard in his previous four seasons in the league.

Newhook scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook scored at 5:55 of the third period to stretch the Canadiens' lead to 3-0, though they couldn't hold that lead. The 24-year-old has been productive with three goals and three assists over his last five outings. He's at four goals, four assists, 12 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-6 rating through 11 appearances. He won't be this efficient forever, but Newhook is showing some potential in a middle-six role, which could allow him to surpass the career-best 34 points he had in 2023-24.

Newhook scored two goals on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook is heating up with two goals and three assists over his last three outings. The 24-year-old has held down a middle-six role to begin 2025-26, though this was just the second time in nine games he's recorded multiple shots on net. He's up to three goals, four helpers, 11 shots, 12 hits and a plus-5 rating. Newhook's offense may not be sustainable, as he's not a regular part of the power-play mix.

Newhook produced two assists in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Increased depth in Montreal's forward ranks has cost Newhook a regular spot on the second power-play unit to begin the season, but the improved supporting cast has boosted his production. Through seven games, the 24-year-old has a goal and four points while adding eight shots on net, eight hits, four PIM and a plus-4 rating. Newhook has never scored more than 15 goals or 34 points in a season, so his fantasy ceiling is limited, but he could be headed for a career-best campaign in a middle-six role.

Newhook scored a goal and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook opened the scoring at 4:37 of the first period. The 24-year-old forward has two points, three shots on net, seven hits and a plus-2 rating across four contests to begin the season. Newhook has filled a middle-six role, working on the wing early in the year as Kirby Dach is healthy and handling Newhook's old spot as the second-line center. It'll be tough for Newhook to score his way into the fantasy conversation from the third line.

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.
