Newhook scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook snapped a five-game point drought with a first-period goal, but the Canadiens conceded four unanswered goals en route to another loss. The 23-year-old winger has only six goals in 27 appearances this season, so he isn't producing enough to be a reliable fantasy option despite his top-six role.

Newhook had two shots on net and one hit in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Montreal head coach Martin St. Louis, not pleased with the club's 13-shot output in Tuesday's loss to Utah, rejiggered the lines Wednesday. As part of the new combinations, Newhook moved to a top-line assignment with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. This is a combination the coach began to implement during the Utah game, and he apparently liked the results. The new unit did not produce a 5-on-5 goal Wednesday -- Caufield tallied on the power play and Suzuki in the 3-on-3 OT period -- but they did account for team-highs in shots (seven) and Corsi For (21). Through 22 outings, Newhook has five goals (30 shots) and no assists.

Newhook scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook put the Canadiens ahead 2-1 early in the third period, but Jack McBain offered a quick response for Utah. The goal was Newhook's first point since his two-goal game versus the Devils on Nov. 7. The 23-year-old forward has seen steady middle-six minutes this season and was on the first line amid a lineup shuffle Tuesday, but it hasn't led to sustained success. He has five goals, no assists, 28 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-10 rating across 21 appearances, so his fantasy value is likely to be limited to deeper formats.

Newhook scored two goals on three shots with two hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook's been snakebit of late, unable to finish or fumbling scoring chances, but got a break when his shot squeezed through the arm and body of Devils' netminder Jacob Markstrom. He later scored a highlight reel goal, going coast to coast and flipping the puck over Markstrom's shoulder. The two-goal night snapped a five-game scoreless run for Newhook, who has four goals, zero assists and is minus-10 through 14 outings. Despite some early-season struggles, Newhook remains on the second line with Juraj Slafkovsky and Jake Evans.

Newhook scored a power-play goal on his lone shot in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook scored a goal on one shot and had one hit in Saturday's 4-1 win over Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook's one-timer from way out got past Linus Ullmark for his first goal of the season. He's looking to build off a breakout campaign in 2023-24 when he posted career highs in points (34) and goals (15) with a 17.6 shooting percentage in 55 regular-season appearances. He is skating on the second line and has a role on the second power-play unit.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook has been solid lately with three goals and five assists over his last eight games, though he's had three multi-point efforts in that span. The 23-year-old has centered the second line for much of the campaign when healthy, and he's now reached the 30-point mark for the third year in a row. He has 13 goals, 17 assists, 75 shots on net and a minus-14 rating over 50 appearances.

Newhook had an assist, three shots on net and one block in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Colorado.

EDGE Analysis

Newhook's shot from the point led to Joel Armia's game-winning tally late in the first period. Newhook has three points over the last two games and is up to 25 through 44 contests. He's within shouting distance of the career-high 33 points (71 games) he had in 2021-22, when Newhook was a member of the Avalanche.
