Radulov had a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in the Canadiens' 4-3 overtime loss to the Lightning on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Radulov finished a play started by Paul Byron's forechecking for his seventh goal of the season. The Russian forward had gone six games without a point, but with new linemates Wednesday, coach Michel Therrien's line shakeup had the desired effect. Injuries have left the Habs thin up front, a situation that has elevated fourth-liners Byron (11 goals) and Torrey Mitchell (seven), who are now on a line with Radulov but have limited exposure as top-six forwards. Whether those guys can keep up the offensive pace until Alex Galchenyuk (knee), David Desharnais (knee) and Andrew Shaw (concussion) return is uncertain.

Radulov will move to a line with Paul Byron and Torrey Mitchell for Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Neither Radulov nor Brendan Gallagher has hit the scoresheet in the last six games, so Montreal coach Michel Therrien is switching the struggling right wingers. Byron and MItchell are an unlikely duo to be skating on a top-six line, but a combination of more offensive production from them, and injuries to key performers, has led to more ice time. It's the first time we've seen these three guys together this season, although Byron has experience with each of the other forwards.

Radulov scored a power-play goal and three points in a 5-4 shootout victory over the Kings on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

He picked up a secondary assist on Max Pacioretty's power-play marker and then scored his own power-play goal in the second period. Not bad for a guy who was questionable heading into the day due to an eye injury. Radulov has five goals and 21 points, including two goals and seven points on the power play in 23 games this season.

Radulov (eye) is in the lineup for Sunday afternoon's game in Los Angeles, Guillaume Lefrancois of La Presse reports.

EDGE Analysis

Radulov will not miss any game for the Habs after sustaining the injury Friday. The 30-year-old winger is an important cog in Montreal's machine, as he averages 2:26 of ice time on the power play and averages 1.9 shots on goal per game.

Radulov was forced to leave Friday's 2-1 loss to San Jose after getting cut above his right eye when a stick got under his shield, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Sharks' Logan Couture caught Radulov with his stick, forcing the Canadiens winger to the locker room where he was administered stitches. The incident, for which Couture was assessed a double minor, occurred late in the third period and Radulov was unable to join his teammates for a late push. Radulov, sporting a few stitches over his eye following the game, said it looked scary but he was fine. We presume he'll be able to play Sunday afternoon against the Kings.

Radulov scored a goal along with three shots, one hit and one blocked shot in a forward-high 20:13 of ice time in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Ottawa. The goal extended his point streak to seven games.

EDGE Analysis

Radulov often finds himself deftly teeing up goals for others -- his previous eight points were attributable to assists -- but let's not forget he was a prolific goal-scorer in the KHL and his goal Tuesday had flair. After gaining the zone, he slipped the puck through Senators forward Mark Hoffman's legs, then went strong to the net where he beat Craig Anderson. Eighteen games into his Montreal career and the addition of Radulov has been a success. He brought with him a reputation for not buying in or being a polarizing figure -- a holdover from his previous brief stints in North America -- but he's been a model teammate with the Habs.

Radulov (illness) returned to action Saturday after missing two games with a stomach bug and promptly picked up two assists to stretch his point streak to six games and eight assists.

EDGE Analysis

Radulov has been a pleasant surprise for those who drafted him -- he's chugging along at close to a point-per-game pace (16 points in 17 games). His best NHL production came in 2007-08 (58 points in 81 games). There's nothing to say that Radulov will continue at his current pace, so you may want to leverage his current output in a sell-high trade.

Radulov (illness) is absent from the lineup for Saturday's home matchup with the Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old will miss his third consecutive game as he continues to be bothered by a lingering stomach bug. With two off days in front of him, there's a chance the right winger could be ready for the Habs' Nov. 22 contest against the Senators. The Russian has dished out six apples in his last five games and now has 14 points over 16 games this season.

Radulov (illness) will not accompany the team to Raleigh ahead of Friday's game against the Hurricanes, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The illness prevented the Russian from playing at home against the Panthers on Tuesday, and he's effectively been ruled out for the upcoming road tilt. Radulov's absence is unfortunate, as he has been spectacular with one goal and eight assists over the last eight contests. He'll try to get over the illness in time for Saturday's home game against the Maple Leafs.

Radulov will miss Tuesday's contest against Florida due to illness, John Lu of TSN Montreal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Radulov is currently riding a six-game point streak, but will have to wait at least one more contest to extend it to seven. The downside for fantasy owners, the winger has not recorded a goal dating back to Nov. 2, despite his ability to find his linemates on the ice. With Radulov out, Torrey Mitchell should slot into the Habs' fourth line.
