Newhook tallied twice in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
The pair of tallies bring Newhook to 12 goals and 24 points through 43 games this season. At 0.55 points per game, he's posting the best points-per-game rate of his career, even if the counting totals aren't quite at his career-best marks. Still, he's taking fewer shots per game than he has in any other season when he was an NHL regular. It's hard to know what to expect from Newhook.

EDGE Analysis
Newhook broke up a Carolina clearing attempt and fed Joshua Roy for the Canadiens' lone goal. It was the fourth point in the last five games for Newhook, who has 20 points (nine goals, 11 assists) through 36 games. Unfortunately for the second-line center, a 27-game absence due to an ankle injury put a crimp in a season that started with promise.

Newhook had a power-play assist, two shots on net and two blocks over 20:37 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-0 win over Anaheim.
EDGE Analysis
As part of some chaos in front of netminder Lukas Dostal, Newhook controlled a rebound that eventually led to a Nick Suzuki tally. It was Newhook's first point in three games since returning from a 27-game absence due to a high-ankle sprain. At even strength, Newhook has skated on the third line since his return, but he was immediately put back on the top power-play unit. The fourth-year forward has 14 points (four on the power play) over 26 games this year.
