Newhook scored a goal, dished a power-play assist, added two PIM and logged three hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook gave the Canadiens their first lead of the game in the second period and also helped out on a Brendan Gallagher tally in the third. This was Newhook's first multi-point effort since Dec. 28 versus the Panthers. The 24-year-old forward has routinely filled a second-line role this season but has struggled to produce a strong level of offense. He's at 10 goals, 16 points (three on the power play), 73 shots on net, 59 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 53 appearances, well behind his output of 34 points in 55 contests in 2023-24.

Newhook notched a power-play assist and three hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
The helper was Newhook's first power-play point since Oct. 26. The 24-year-old has routinely played on the second unit in addition to his even-strength role on the second line. For the season, Newhook has 14 points, 72 shots on net, 56 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 52 appearances. He's reached the 30-point mark in each of the last three campaigns, but he'd need a massive surge to get there in 2024-25.

Newhook scored a goal on one shot in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook has been finding his offensive stride of late, recording four points in his last five outings while averaging 15:58 of ice time. Despite averaging 1:47 of ice time with the man advantage this season, the 23-year-old has only managed one power-play point this year. Newhook has reached the 30-point threshold in each of his four NHL campaigns but could be in danger of missing that threshold in 2024-25.

Newhook logged an assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Newhook has three points over his last four contests (one goal, two assists). The 23-year-old forward helped out on a Christian Dvorak tally in the second period. Newhook remains in a second-line role as he has for most of the season, though he has not been particularly productive. He's picked up 12 points, 62 shots on net, 43 hits and a minus-11 rating over 46 appearances, well off the pace that's seen him record at least 30 points in each of his first three NHL campaigns.

Newhook's high tip of a Lane Hutson shot attempt survived a video review and gave Montreal a 2-1 lead midway through the third period. The goal was his first in eight games and seventh through 44 outings. Montreal's second line has been productive of late with the unit of Newhook, Patrik Laine and Kirby Dach accounting for four tallies in the last three games.

Newhook was initially questionable for this contest due to an illness, but he was able to play. He also snapped a six-game point drought while filling his usual second-line role, though he had just 13:37 of ice time. The 23-year-old forward has been inconsistent in 2024-25 with 10 points, 55 shots on net, 42 hits, 14 PIM and a minus-13 rating through 43 appearances.

EDGE Analysis
Newhook is currently stuck in a six-game point drought, during which he has recorded 10 shots, 12 hits and two blocked shots while averaging 15:16 of ice time. If the forward isn't able to recover in time for Tuesday's matchup with Utah, Josh Anderson and Brendan Gallagher will both be candidates to move into a top-six role in Newhook's stead.
